Rejected petition Ban circuses involving any type of animal from being conducted in the U.K.

Animals in circuses across the UK and the world are being servely abused at the expense of entertainment. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do in other parts of the world but in the U.K. we can stop these animals suffering and dying in captivity.
