An excerpt:
INDIA is considering a ban on the use of all animals in circuses after activists said they discovered elephants and horses shackled for long periods, dogs housed in tiny cages and drunk trainers.
The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI), a statutory advisory body, said it has recommended the ban after a nine-month investigation by animal rights activists into conditions at 16 of the nation’s circuses.
The recommendation to India’s environment ministry follows a ban by many Western circuses of the practice amid public concern over the treatment of animals trained to perform tricks.
“Everyone enjoys the circus, but nobody sees what’s happening behind the show, the horrible treatment to the animals or how they are kept,” AWBI secretary S. Umarani said.
