Delaware Bans Circus Animals

express.co.uk

The Delaware City Council this week voted to ban wild and exotic animals that perform in circuses. The first-of-its-kind ban in the state effectively ends the circus held at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. Council members cited public safety concerns, fearing what would happen if an exotic circus animal were to escape. Opponents say the ban is unnecessary and driven by emotional circus critics.
