The Netherlands Has Officially Banned The Use Of Wild Animals In Circuses

Good news, animal lovers (or those that just love a good dose of ahimsa)! The Netherlands has now banned wild animals from circuses.

As has been shared before, life for an animal in captivity is not at glamorous as it might appear to be in the ring. Oftentimes, circus animals undergo rigorous training (causing mass amounts of stress) and/or abuse inflicted by trainers seeking to instill fear.
