On July 8th, the ban on wild animals performing in circuses will take effect in Mexico — making them the 29th country to pass this national ban. The ban includes tigers, elephants, zebras, lions, baboons, and camels. The penalty for continuing to use them as entertainment is $225,000!
There are currently an estimated 3,500 animals who will be affected by the ban, and the Mexican government is now working on finding adequate placement for retiring animals.
This is awesome and hopefully the United States will follow.
Come on Los Angeles and the rest of the U.S. Get on the ball!
Yay!!! That is AMAZING :)))
