ePetition - Ban animal circuses in Brighton & Hove

To date 219 Councils across the country have already said NO to ALL animal circuses. If Brighton & Hove is to maintain its reputation as being a progressive city, we need to refuse animal acts.

On their last visit in September 2016 Zippos Circus used ponies, dogs, budgies and cats. This is in breach of our City’s own Animal Welfare Charter which limits performances using animals to equines only. Since the restrictions of a travelling and performing life are not suited to any animals we ask that Brighton & Hove City Council follow the lead of the majority of councils across the country and only allow circuses with human acts on Council land.
We would like Brighton & Hove City Council to discuss at a full Council meeting, the issue of the exemption in the Animal Welfare Charter being breached.
