The Department of Animal Protection, created this new legislature will raise a motion to the full City Council, whose meeting is being held this coming Tuesday to ban animal circuses held in the town of Totana, among other issues.
The proposal also aims to establish the necessary changes within the municipal regulations of the City Council to ban explicitly in the municipality, fighting animals of any kind, using captive wild animals in circuses and use of animals in activities involving contempt for the dignity of the same.
As indicated in the motion, "the life they lead the animals from circuses often characterized by isolation, punishment, fear and captivity;
many of these animals end up presenting depressive problems and traumas and / or developing aggressive behavior since learning methods are a combination of rewards and punishments, and tricks are not based on natural animal behavior. "
In addition, it is noted that "although the circus are apparently not violent, actually for animals are a" life sentence with hard labor "and should undergo hard training to perform repetitive exercises that are performed itinerant way. "
It also argues that "circuses teach the worst possible attitude towards animals, stripping magnificent creatures dignity based force them to do stupid and unnatural tricks for them.
We teach children to respect and appreciate the world with all its inhabitants.
It seems clear that circuses should ignore numbers with wild animals. "
In the same proposal it states that "educational and entertainment shows, must be compatible with respect for other living beings and their rights and for that we should opt for another model circus.
So they have already realized a hundred Spanish towns including Barcelona, Lleida, San Fernando de Henares or Palma de Mallorca, and countries such as Austria, Finland, Sweden, India and Costa Rica. "
"For several years, many circuses have stopped using animals as bait focusing on the artistic work, one of the largest circuses in the world is the Cirque du Soleil and does not use animals for their roles, proving that you can create attractive to the public shows, without the need for any animal is mistreated, "says the proposal.
