Wild Animals In Circuses
EDM number 403 in 2010-12, proposed by Jim Fitzpatrick on 06/07/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Wildlife.
That this House notes that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs public consultation on the use of wild animals in travelling circuses shows that 94.5 per cent. of respondents support a ban as the best option to protect the welfare of circus animals; further notes that the new Government has been unclear on whether it will take action; believes that treating wild animals as circus tricks has no place in civilised society; underlines that violence against animals continues to occur routinely in circuses as revealed in an investigation into the Great British Circus in 2009; recognises that the only thing stopping this ban from coming into place is a decision by Ministers; and urges the Government to use its powers under section 12 of the Animal Welfare Act to make a regulation banning the use of all wild animals in circuses.
This motion has been signed by a total of 202 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
