<\/p>\n

The Greek government has sent an amendment to parliament on animal rights which would ban circuses from using animals in their acts, Naftemporiki news agency said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The amendment will increase the liability for torturing animals.<\/p>\n

The bill stipulates stricter criminal liability for the cruel treatment of animals. Those convicted under the new article will be sent to prison.<\/p>\n

The fine for animal cruelty of household pets will be raised to 30,000 euros ($42,453).<\/p>\n

The Greek government has been debating the bill since 2009 after a circus trainer was shown on TV beating an elephant with a stick.<\/p>\n
