I know for a fact that no council authority will issue any licence to allow a circus to open and perform in the UK if they have animal acts.
There was an interview from a circus owner in our local paper last year who actually has two versions ongoing 1,people only for the UK and 2 people and animal acts for Europe.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of performing animal acts I feel there's something missing in a circus that has no animals.
But hey times change and today the P C brigade's in charge so the magic for the kids is no longer there..
