FOLLOWING my recent visit to the city, I was very shocked and disappointed to see that York would be hosting an animal circus.
Forcing animals to perform demeaning tricks is no education for our children. The RSPCA condemns all animal circuses because they are cruel. The best and most exciting circuses in the world rely exclusively on human skills.
I am surprised that a cosmopolitan and beautiful city like York supports such a cruel and unnecessary form of entertainment. I will be thinking twice about re-visiting York again.
