VICTORY: ANIMAL DEFENDERS INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATES BAN ON WILD ANIMAL ACTS IN WEST HOLLYWOOD LOS ANGELES — West Hollywood has successfully built a reputation as a safe-haven for animals by passing a myriad of legislation related to animal rights, including its recent ban on fur as well as its decision to prohibit cat declawing in 2003 and the retail sale of cats and dogs in 2010. The city’s most recent endeavor? The banning of exotic animal displays and performances, which successfully passed on Monday. The list of protected animals includes over two dozen species, from tigers, elephants, and giraffes to badgers, civets, armadillos, and even the Malaysian tapir. The ordinance includes a ban on animal acts in circuses, carnivals, trade shows, and parades—essentially any event that requires animals to perform in any way. However, it does not include a ban on animal display for educational purposes, films, or for groups of twenty or less people. PETA released a statement after the vote claiming West Hollywood had sent “a clear message” that the city welcomes entertainment, “but not at the expense of animals’ well-being.” Read more about the ban in the Animal Defenders International press release below ad-international.org/animals_in_entertainment/go.php?id=3294&ssi=89 ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ We abhor the abusive treatment of animals in any form.
