Closed Ban Wild Animals in Circuses

Closed on

We call on the Government to respect overwhelming public opinion and the will of the House of Commons and introduce a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses without further delay, and by April 2012 at the latest.

In the Government's own consultation 94% of the public were in favour of a ban and the House of Commons recently voted for a ban, yet the Government continues to procrastinate.
