Bolivian becomes first state to legislate against animal circus

Bolivia has broke ground in the articulation and assertion of rights many times in the last years & not only since Evo Morales was elected as popular leader of a Bolivarian style regime.

& this week, in what must be welcome news to Irish Animal rights activists, law have been passed which define the use of animals in circus as "cruel & unusual".

From now on no visitor to Bolivia will legally be able to take a ring side seat and watch acts of entertainment which include the participation of animals (either the inedible kind with eyes or the difficult to manage and train other kind without optic nerves but certain protein and indoubtable evolutionary stamina[ like the algae and jellyfish])

report from the Guardian explains it in a way which is probably ok to read

of course local animal rights activists could add detailed links and reports in the comments.
