ADI leads new parliamentary initiative to introduce circus ban
With the UK government continuing to drag its feet over the introduction of a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses - despite that all the potential legal obstacles cited by Defra have now been swept away – ADI, together with a group of amazing MPs, is leading the political charge to insist that the government brings in a ban at the earliest opportunity.
MPs Jim Cunningham, Caroline Lucas, Peter Bottomly, Jeremy Corbyn, Mark Durkan, Gordon Henderson, Kelvin Hopkins, Bob Russell and Adrian Sanders have all supported the two new EDMs and many others are tabling questions in the House – Tessa Munt, Mark Pritchard, Nic Dakin, Kerry McCarthy, Fiona O’ Donnell, John Leech, Angela Smith, Graeme Morrice, Viendra Sharma, Cathy Jamieson, Gordon Henderson, Gavin Shuker, Justin Tomlinson, Sheila Gilmore, Jim Cunningham, Caroline Lucas, Adrian Sanders, Baroness Smith and Jim Fitzpatrick.
All have looked at the evidence and are standing firmly behind our ‘Stop Circus Suffering’ campaign and doing all they can to bring about a ban on wild animals in circuses.
