Protests against animal circuses over the past years seems not to have convinced organisers.

For JS Productions announced this morning that the animal circus Circo Orfei is set to come to Malta at Christmastime.

JS Productions said that visitors would be able to see a large variety of animals close by.

These included elephants, a giraffe, leopards, a lion, tigers, horses, ponies, a zebra, a crocodile, an ostrich and a bull.

Last year, another animal circus, Circo Martin, had been brought to Malta, also by JS Productions.

The circus had been met with protest animal rights activists, who together formed the Animal Rights Coalition.
