I'm super proud and excited to announce that Ireland has now made an official ban on wild animals in circuses commencing January 1st, 2018. It's kind of cute that my hometown (Windsor On) and my hometown for 10 minutes have now both made the ban on wild animals in circuses. I couldn't be more happy to hear this news.
To date, here's a list of all the countries that have banned wild animals in circuses entirely on a national level. These countries have absolutely no exceptions and the ruling applies to all wild animals performing in circuses.
There are a list of countries including Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, who have local bans enforced or other stipulated bans but have yet to put a nation-wide ban into place. It's so exciting to think that circuses are on the way out and wild animals will stop being forced to perform night after night for human profit. There is absolutely no need for an animal circus when there are so many other successful options that are available. When I think of Cirque Du Soleil and their many years of success, it's evident that there are other options and means of putting on a great show without the use of animals. It's time for the entire world to jump on this bandwagon and ban circuses involving wild animals! This is long overdue considering society's changing views on animal rights. This shift in wanting animals held to a higher standard is most definitely going to be reflected in more cities and hopefully countries banning wild animal circuses entirely. Three cheers for animal rights! HAPPY VEG www.stopcircussuffering.com/circus-bans/
