Thanks for your support! Thousands of people have taken action and written to their MP, calling on them to write to the Minister for Animal Welfare - Jim Fitzpatrick MP to demand a ban on wild animals in circuses in England.
Your efforts have really paid off. We've heard from Defra that they have been inundated with letters from concerned MPs. The Minister is now considering their position and a consultation into this issue may follow. The RSPCA will of course be putting in a formal response if a consultation is launched and we will keep you posted if any further announcements are made.
