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.

Wilde Dieren de Tent Uit, the association of Dutch animal welfare organizations, has spent the last nine years working towards the ban. The association is now offering to help circuses find new, species-appropriate homes for the animals.
