Wild Animals (Circuses)

Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 June 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Wild Animals (Circuses).
I have personal experience of a wild animal. I found a bear in a cage in no man's land. He had been left there for four weeks without water. He was entirely miserable and would not even be coaxed out of his cage by honey. We managed to ethnically cleanse that bear out of Bosnia and into Croatia. He is now a very happy bear who is full of life and living in Amsterdam zoo, which is great. I fully support the idea of banning animals in cages, because it would stop that sort of thing.
