Animals: prohibition on use in circuses
February 15, 2019

This bill made California the third state to ban the use of wild animals in circuses, saving so many elephants, bears, lions, and others from being tortured by whips and other horrific training tools simply for human entertainment. By eliminating the use of these animals in circuses, the bill also reduces the demand to take these animals from the wild.
