Critics put circuses in hot spotlight

Article Abstract:

Circuses travelling across the US with exotic animals are confronting trouble from animal-rights groups which want them banned from municipal property. Seattle, WA, could become the first major city to ban circuses and other exotic-animal entertainment on city property if a proposed ban by the Seattle City Council to that effect is passed. The city statute covers non-domestic animals capable of killing or seriously injuring human beings, such as bears, tigers, elephants, camels, alligators, giraffes, apes and snakes eight feet or longer. The law would allow these animals to be displayed in Seattle only at accredited zoos or aquariums.
