Such a scheme is not only expensive, but will fail to protect the welfare of animals.
Inspections have repeatedly failed to discover cases of neglect and abuse in circuses and zoos, and licensing in other countries has also been shown to be inadequate. The scheme is supposedly only a temporary measure, but no definite date has been given as to when the promised ban will be introduced. The licensing legislation will now be put before the House of Lords on Tuesday, November 6th.
