In animal welfare news, Bolivia becomes the world’s first country to ban wild and domestic animals in traveling circuses. The country’s president, Mr. Evo Morales, brought the law into effect after it was introduced by Congresswoman Ximena Flores.

 Wild animals or certain species have already been prohibited in circuses in Austria, Costa Rica, Croatia, Israel, Singapore, Finland and Denmark. Heaven bless you, President Evo Morales, Congresswoman Ximena Flores, and Bolivia, for leading the way in protecting the well-being of our animal co-inhabitants. May we co-exist in harmony with all of God’s creation, for a loving and joyful future for us all.
