SAY NO TO ANIMAL CIRCUSES!

Hi,

It has been brought to our attention that the motion to ban animal circuses (on council-owned land), in Dun Laoghaire, will be voted on next Monday.

Unfortunately though, it appears that a lot of the councillors will be voting against the motion. One reason in particular is that, although they have been receiving emails and letters urging them to vote in favour of the ban, they have only been hearing from either animal-rights activists or people living outside of Dun Laoghaire. As a result, they are not convinced that people living in the area don't want animal circuses.

So, we are asking everyone who lives in the area covered by the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, to please contact them again (without affiliating yourself to any animal rights/welfare group or political party), asking them to support the ban, and stating where you live. If you have any friends or family living in the area, please ask them to write in too!

Here are the councillors' email addresses again:
