Closed Persuade the EU to ban live animal circus acts across Europe.

Closed on

While enjoying a family holiday at a campsite in Brittany, France, a circus arrived to set up their show.
We were horrified to see two lions and two tigers (one an albino) locked in tiny cages on the back of a lorry.
Surely it is time to ban live animal acts across Europe?

The circus in question also had a family of monkeys locked in another lorry-cage, amd camels, llamas, ponies and goats.
One of the lions had a spiked chain collar on and all of the big cats were pacing their cells looking distressed.
This sort of thing should be banned across Europe.
