Rejected petition Ban the use of Wildlife in Northern Irish Circus.

England, Scotland and Ireland have banned the use of wildlife in circuses under the Wild Animals in Circus Act 2019. Northern Ireland has yet to follow suit in tackling the manipulation and wildlife welfare issues in travelling circuses.

More details

The welfare of wildlife MUST be protected in order for there to be any future for wildlife at all. We must protect the sanctity of wild animals and to end their suffering in Northern Ireland.
