Bolivia: First country in South America to ban circuses with animals

Friday 22 May 2009


Animal Defenders International (ADI) is very happy because the bill prohibits the use of animals in circuses has been approved in both houses of Congress in Bolivia.
The bill introduced by Congresswoman Ximena Flores, was approved by the House of Representatives in January by the Commission on Sustainable Development of the Senate. On May 13, 2009, the project was approved by the House majority in the Senate with minor modifications. Yesterday, those amendments were approved unanimously by the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies. Now, the project will be forwarded to President Evo Morales Ayma, for signature and enactment into law.
