COUNCIL BANS ANIMAL CIRCUSES

 

 

 

 

 

October 18, 2004, Santa Ana, California:

 

ANIMAL CIRCUSES WILL NO LONGER BE WELCOME IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA.

 

 

 

ORANGE COUNTY'S LARGEST CITY HAS FORMALLY ADOPTED LEGISLATION THAT BANS WILD AND

EXOTIC ANIMALS FROM PERFORMING THERE.

 

 

 

IN A UNANIMOUS DECISION, MAYOR PULIDO AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AGREED THAT CIRCUSES

ARE INHUMANE AND POSE A PUBLIC SAFETY RISK. ON OCTOBER 18, 2004, THEY FORMALLY

ADOPTED PROVISIONS TO AN EXISTING ORDINANCE TO BAN TRAVELING ANIMAL ACTS.

 

 

 

" THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY FOR EFFORTS TO BAN ANIMAL CIRCUSES NATIONWIDE.

 

SANTA ANA IS CONSIDERED THE CAPITAL OF ORANGE COUNTY AS IT IS THE LARGEST CITY

IN THE COUNTY, AND NINTH LARGEST IN THE STATE BY POPULATION, " ACCORDING TO DR.

ALISON STANLEY WHO SPEARHEADED THE EFFORT TO PASS THIS LEGISLATION.

 

" THIS SENDS A VERY STRONG MESSAGE TO THE CIRCUS INDUSTRY THAT WHAT THEY CONSIDER

TO BE FUN AND ENTERTAINING, IS INCREASINGLY BEING SEEN FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS;

DUPING THE PUBLIC FOR PROFIT. "

 

 

 

" WE HOPE THIS VICTORY INSPIRES OTHER ACTIVISTS TO APPROACH THEIR LEGISLATORS TO

PASS SIMILAR LEGISLATION, " STATED PRISCILLA GARGALIS, CO-DIRECTOR OF CLAW.

 

 

 

PLEASE THANK MAYOR PULIDO AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THEIR COURAGE. ADDRESS

 

YOUR LETTERS TO:

 

MAYOR MIGUEL PULIDO

 

COUNCIL MEMBERS

 

CITY OF SANTA ANA
