Icon and long-time animal advocate Pamela Anderson has written to Taoiseach Enda Kenny urging him to support the Prohibition of Wild Animals in Circuses Bill 2017, which was recently moved by Paul Murphy TD. “Animals in circuses never benefit from ‘the luck of the Irish.’ Instead, they’re denied everything that is natural and important to them”, Anderson writes in a letter sent on behalf of PETA. “Today, most decent people see animal circuses for what they are: cruelty.”
