About bloody time, too. Let’s hope that this legislation is adopted by more and more countries.

I heard from a friend that there is some new animal rights legislation in Russia just announced a few days ago. I cannot find it yet but it has happened. Maybe you will be able to find it quicker than me. Apparently it is pretty heavy and has shocked quite a few people.

Too bloody right. What sort of people go to watch animals performing at circuses?

The kind who pay money for tickets. These spectacles wouldn’t exist if there was no demand. I was actually kind of surprised when I read about the brutalized elephant – I thought performing animals were already a thing of the past in Britain.
They’re still allowed to use domesticated animals, though. Goats, horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. Unfortunately the banning only applies to wild animals. I see that Greece is in the process of outlawing all animals in circuses.
I went to a few circuses in my youth, and always found the animal shows boring. I was there for the clowns and trapeze.
I’d like to see some of those Cirque Du Soleil shows. I don’t think they use animals.
Instead of real wild animals, why not use soccer hooligans instead?
We use them as front line infantry soldiers instead.
