Please think before visiting the circus

8:00am Monday 20th April 2009 in Letters

I WOULD like to ask people to think very hard before they support circuses which use animals for entertainment.

Whether those circuses are conforming to animal welfare laws or not, the creatures are kept in captivity and perform work which is not natural to them. There are so many really good, exciting human circuses in existence. Those are the ones we need to encourage and support.
