Proceeding contribution from Lord Christopher (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.
Animal Welfare Bill
My Lords, I, too, support the amendment, which is moderate. I share the views of my colleague that the Government have been very restrained in the Bill as a whole. I am uncomfortable with the way it has been dealt with in that regard. That said, a circus with performing animals has by definition at least to be providing a totally unnatural life for the animals concerned and almost certainly involves cruelty.
