"The numerous Problems that arise in the keeping of wild animals in circuses are known to me. In general, a species-and behavioral-appropriate accommodation under the terms of a traveling circus company is not guaranteed. We will support the planned initiative in its own parliamentary initiative and the federal government request to use the authorization of the 13 paragraph 3 of the Animal Protection Act and to submit an ordinance that forbids keeping a number of wild animals in circuses. "

" his is why it must be our goal that circuses in future only those animals carry that can be kept humanely under the terms of a traveling circus company. This means that animal species in which this animal welfare-friendly housing is not guaranteed to be excluded from the operation of a circus company. "

"The keeping of exotic animals, especially in small circuses, is extremely problematic and can often be made by accounting improvements are not humane. Therefore, it would be a useful measure in the keeping, trade and the importation of certain exotic to prohibit or limit, so that they in circuses are no longer on display. "

"I agree with your view that the welfare of most wildlife species, traditionally or as a unusual attraction will be shown in circuses, very difficult to impossible. The current legislation calls while under the Animal Protection Act the welfare of animals and also specifies the monitoring and enforcement of legal requirements. The legal standards are not sufficient for the enforcement of animal protection in the sense of the legislature in this area is not enough. "

"The aforementioned problems you are known to us and unfortunately both the old and the new states often encountered. In our view, circus companies in their ability to keep wild animals humanely, often straight from cost reasons, limited. Tierartgerchte housing conditions can circus companies provide the same not at all. Therefore, it would certainly be useful to develop transitional arrangements, under which wild animals are kept in nothing but zoos and circus events, as practiced in various countries, are very withdrawn. "
Reinhard Dankert, Parliamentary Secretary of the SPD parliamentary group in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
can "tell me you on your specific concern that in the opinion of the CDU parliamentary group a retention prohibition of wild animals in circuses, traveling menagerie and similar establishments, where a proper housing is not guaranteed should be sought. "
