July 2017
For decades, ADI has campaigned for a better world for animals, and
dedicated supporters like you have been with us the whole way. The road is
long, with many obstacles, so I am very pleased to share some good news with
you today.
Yesterday, a regulation approved in 2016, prohibiting animal circuses,
bullfights, cockfights and dogfights, came into force in Caracas, the
capital of Venezuela, a city with a population of over 2 million people.
ADI congratulates AnimaNaturalis Venezuela for their determined campaign to secure this ban and thanks the councilmembers who backed it. For a country with significant captive wildlife problems this is a very important step and confirms how the public in South America are backing calls to end the suffering of animals in entertainment.
