Project against circus animals is approved in 1st round in BH
Defenders of animals celebrated on Monday in the first round approval by the council of Belo Horizonte's Bill 02/2009, which prohibits the presentation of animals in circuses. The proposal is another chapter in the controversy that divides environmental activists and circus. Two similar projects had already passed by the House and not emplacaram. "Elephants on stools, forever caged lions, monkeys hungry. Even when these cruelties will be allowed? "Asked the environmentalist Franklin Oliveira. Dozens of activists attended the House to follow the vote. The president of the nongovernmental organization Conviverde, Zelia Romualdo said that the ban is part of an advance in the process of civilization.
"It is not compatible with our times this practice. In a few days, using animals in this way will be so much blamed slavery, "he says. The student Stefânia Lilian, 18, learned of the project over the Internet. "Always follow movements that advocate environmental causes. This cruelty can not be made only on the basis of our entertainment. I really enjoyed seeing this project being approved, "celebrates.
But not all who support the legislation. The director of the Department of Circus of the Union of Artists and Technicians Amusement Shows, Lindomar Simões, assumes that the project approval would require unemployment for many circus. "There are people who depend on it and not do anything to survive," he argues. It is against the mistreatment of animals, but argues that an inspection is done to prevent the practice, instead of prohibiting the display of animals.
If approved in the second round, the project will depend only on the sanction of the Mayor Márcio Lacerda to become law. The fines for those who disobey the rules will be up to $ 5000 per presentation and $ 500 per animal exposed. Other mining towns already have laws which forbid the display of animals in circuses. They are: Santos Dumont, Seven Ponds, Wells Caldas and Juiz de Fora.
History
In 2003, then-Councilman Délio Malheiros presented similar project. The intent has generated discussion but was not approved. Last year, it was time for a bill of councilor Neil Batista then be voted. The proposal passed the House but was vetoed by the mayor this year Lacerda. Twenty-one councilors signed the project.

This story of animals in the circus has to end it. A slapstick conditions to which they are submitted. Caged, hungry, dirty and when they get old, they are discarded as they "serve" more. Often abandoned roads and die as ever lived imprisoned and can not even feed themselves.

It seems that the fun and enjoyment of the human animal is hurting yourself, right?
Heck, no longer enough to have them stuck in cages in zoos for our enjoyment and fun and dead and in pieces in culinary dishes, still need to enslave them and hurt them for fun?
No more rodeo, circus and so on. These are lives, animals other than us, but they deserve respect, indeed much more than us because they do not destroy the environment like we do.
Kisses, I love your blog!
