Wild animals banned in UK circuses: Animal suffering matters
Despite political dirty tricks and intimidation animals gain protection
Posted June 24, 2011
In a remarkable victory for animals and the many people working on their behalf, lions, tigers, elephants, and other wild animals have been banned from being used and abused in the "big top". This decision came despite pressure, bribing, and bullying from influential people. Animals do not belong in circuses (see also and). There is no educational or conservation value to these venues and this historic vote should set a precedent for other countries to follow.
