The City of York Council currently allow animal circuses on their land and have been ignoring the complaints of local activists to ban animal acts from their land.

Listed below are the contact details for every councillor and department of York Council. Until their policy is changed, every department and office is effectively open to protest. Please politely contact those listed and ask for a complete ban on animal acts in York:


SAMPLE LETTER
FOA York City Council,
I was disgusted to learn that you continue to allow circuses on council land which contain performing animal acts.
In touring shows, animals do not get to live a natural life and often spend the majority of their time not performing in small and cramped living quarters or travelling round the country. A large number of circuses only use human acts and are just as, if not far more, popular.
Please ban animal acts from council land,
Yours Sincerely,


City of York Council
