Exciting progress is being made for animals in Brazil! Based on animal protection language in the countrys Constitution, hunting is a felony. Ten of Brazils 27 states and hundreds of its cities have banned the use of animals in circuses. Some have also outlawed the rodeo. And in 2005, Brazil became the first country in the world to consider granting habeas corpus to a chimpanzee. Brazil is expected to follow the lead of the EU in banning animal testing for cosmetics. A recent Judicial ruling shut down a major lab, liberating hundreds of animals from torturous experiments. Its been an honor for us to collaborate with a number of Brazilian activists, whose hard work is engaging an ever wider range of citizens in intense debate about animal justice issues.
