Petition Save UK circus

More details

Traditional circus is under threat. We believe that the excellent care & stimulation that animals benefit from in circus should be known more widely. The UK Government is backing a ban not on welfare grounds but on ethical grounds but the ethics of the animal rights lobby, We believe that a good regulation system is in place to protect the welfare of the animals and that welfare reasons should be the only reason for a ban, as they are no welfare grounds and a ban is not supported by the scientific evidence a ban should not be put in place.
