Victory! Circuses are history!

Animal Defence Society | 23.06.2011 21:18 | Animal Liberation

For all of you who supported the bill to ban the use of wild animals in circuses – congratulations, we won!

Your support, together with all the hard work of other groups and individuals who campaign for the proper treatment of animals, has achieved this victory.

People will be absolutely delighted that MPs from all parties stood up to the Government on this issue to achieve this fantastic result. The vote brings to end 48 hours of chaos and confusion from the Government about their position on a ban. It is extraordinary that David Cameron used such bully boy tactics to threaten his own MPs and tried to impose a 3-line Whip on the vote.

This should be implemented in the next 12 months and bring an end to the suffering of wild animals in circuses.

Says Jake Knight, ADS Director:
“This goes to show the movement gets what it wants. This is true animal liberation and people power at work. Thank you all for your support. I don’t intend to let one animal down.”

We’re proud to have been part of this campaign with you. These kind of victories show what we can do when we work together.

Thank you
