Twitter leads to thousands signing circuses petition - Nature, Environment - The Independent

A campaign by animal lovers on Twitter has led to thousands of people signing The Independent’s online petition calling for a ban on tigers and lions in circuses.


Hundreds of individuals and animal welfare organisations have tweeted and retweeted the petition calling on Downing Street to announce a ban on wild animals in the big top. Ten days after its launch, 17,500 people have now signed the petition.
