Press Release

Reaction to circus consultation announcement

13 July 2012

The Born Free Foundation, The British Veterinary Association, The Captive Animals' Protection Society and the RSPCA welcome the news that the Westminster Government has begun work on draft legislation to set out the exact details of the upcoming ban on the use of wild animals in circuses in England.

We will support Government in any way possible to bring about the implementation of such a ban at the earliest possible opportunity.

We remain concerned that, despite repeated requests for clarification by both the circus industry and animal welfare stakeholders, no clear start date for the ban has been set.

We believe that an implementation date for the ban must be announced as soon as possible so that circuses can decide on potential investment in licensing and retirement of animals.
