The Animal Rights Parliamentary Secretariat will be launching a consultation process on circus animals.

The secretariat said in a statement it will be holding a number of consultation meetings with organisations, individuals and all those interested in animal welfare to discuss the subject.

The aim of the consultation is to eventually draw up a white paper to create a debate which would regulate the sector better and finally come to a decision on whether the country should ban animal use in circuses.
