Proceeding contribution from Shona McIsaac (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.
Animal Welfare Bill
That is not how I interpret the new clause, or how the people with whom I have been working interpret it. The principles are what I consider important. I have been asked what species I think it would be inappropriate to keep in circuses. I certainly think that it would be inappropriate to keep big cats in circuses, and, as I said in Committee, I think it inappropriate that Ming, the ancient black bear, is kept in a circus. [Laughter.]
