government follows other countries who have banned the use/abuse
of animals in traveling circuses?]
ACTION
Please contact the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. to thank
them for their government’s recent strides in banning the use of
animals in circuses. Also encourage China to do more for
animals.

INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
The Telegraph, a British newspaper, reports that the ban
against using animals in circuses in China went into effect
January 18. This is huge news for the animals who spend their
lives in cages, tormented by humans and forced to perform.
Merritt Clifton, editor of Animal People, also reports that
the number of mink that China farms and kills has decreased
significantly. As recently as 2006, the Chinese government was
killing about 18 million mink per year. Currently, the number is
around 9 million. Here at Friends of Animals, of course, we’d
like that number to reach zero!
