Animal Defenders International (ADI) has welcomed reports today that a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses in England is finally to be progressed by the UK Government.

Animal Defenders International (ADI) has renewed its call for the Welsh Government to prohibit the use of wild animals in circuses following today’s statement from Lesley Griffiths AM, Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs.
