Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Another ban passed!!! Wednesday, Jun. 13, 2001 June 12, 2001 Mount Pearl, Nfld., town council votes to ban animal circuses ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) -- The town of Mount Pearl, Nfld., formally banned animal circuses on Monday. Council approved new regulations that prohibit any circus which has wild or exotic animals. The regulations also require other circuses, as well as go-cart and amusement park operators, to obtain licenses in order to operate in Mount Pearl, a community just outside St. John's. Councillor Bernice Miller says the regulations give council greater control over such events, including the power to revoke licenses when the regulations aren't followed. Miller says council decided to make the changes following a recent court case where workers at an animal circus were convicted of cruelty to animals.
