The use of wild animals in circuses across Wales will be banned. A statement released this morning from the Welsh Government states: “The way animals are treated is an important reflection of society and over the next 12 months, a bill will be introduced to ban the use of wild animals in travelling circuses on welfare grounds.”  Animal welfare campaigners have hailed the decision as an important stand to stop the suffering of animals in circuses in Wales.
