Netherlands bans wild animals in circuses
FOUR PAWS UK congratulates our Dutch colleagues on the news that their country banned wild animals in circuses. The ban was passed last week, and will come into force for all circus attractions in the Netherlands from 15 September 2015. In circuses, wild animals such as lions, bears, elephants, and giraffes suffer from being constantly transported, and having to live in small, poorly laid-out enclosures. They are forced to perform unnatural tricks in the circus ring.
