Focus: The not-so-'Great' British Circus

The 'Great' British Circus is one of the last UK circuses to use 'exotic' animals. As Circus Harlequin, they featured heavily in Animal Defenders' daming report 'The Ugliest Show on Earth': incidents included a sick lioness being hidden from the RSPCA.

Their site advertises a 'lion cub experience': we do not believe this 'experience' is a great one for the cubs themselves. (click here...)
