Colombia bans wild animal in circus
On June the 1 2th, the Colombian Congress today Bill 244,201 2 to end the use of wild animals in both static and travelling circuses, after a six-year public campaign following the release of critical evidence of animal suffering collected by investigators from Animal Defender International. ADI led the campaign as part of its global Stop Circus Suffering initiative and the organisation expressed its delight that the years of undercover investigations, scientific reviews, public debates and awareness-raising days had resulted in the ban being secured. House Representative Augusto Posada, author of the Bill, said: "This is good news for the country because with the prohibition of the use of animals in circuses we are taking a significant step in the conservation of wildlife, the awareness to preserve nature and thus demonstrate that as humans we can respect the status and dignity of other species. Those who still have animal shows will have two years to evolve and allow the return of these creatures to a suitable habitat and to create new forms of entertainment without the presence of animals." Bill 244, 201 2 sought to prohibit all animals in circuses, however domestic species were excluded in the Senate. Source
