Snippets from AD’s electoral manifesto: (30) Protecting performing animals

The following extract is taken verbatim from Chapter 4 of AD’s Electoral Manifesto

Animals which are utilised for entertainment purposes should be protected from cruelty. Thus, authorities should not issue permits for circuses with performing animals. These animals endure suffering due to transportation, whilst being impelled to perform acts which go against their nature. This also applies to the use of animals in other forms of entertainment, such as dolphinariums and feasts such as that of St. Peter and St. Paul (lmnarja).

L-annimali li jintużaw għal skop ta’ divertiment għandhom jiġu mħarsa mill-moħqrija. Għalhekk l-awtoritajiet m’għandhomx joħorġu permessi għal ċirku bl-annimali. Dawn l-annimali jsofru kemm minħabba t-trasport, kif ukoll minħabba li jiġu sfurzati jagħmlu affarijiet kontra n-natura tagħhom. Dan jgħodd ukoll għall-użu ta’ annimali f’forom oħra ta’ divertiment, bħal dolfinarji u waqt festi bħall-Imnarja.
