Jump To Comment: 1 2Where would you like the Dept of Agriculture to put the animals?? They have been born and raised in captivity, so can not be released into the wild. Would you prefer putting them in a zoo, away from the trainer they have known since birth? Circus animals, like so many domestic pets, form close bonds with their trainers and pine for them much the same way as dogs or horses can. For the record, i am an animal lover but have seen and read the demage extreme animal rights activists can do (setting tents, trucks etc on fire) and think both sides of the story should be heard.That circus you mentioned is currently in Belfast. I rcently read a shamefully imbalanced article in the Sunday Mirror which said the NI animal protection authority had been called down following a 'tip off' (no doubt from the news reporter) about the conditiions of the animals. Funnily enough however, despite a two-page spread on how the animals were allowed roam loose on the land (would they rather they be locked up?) there was no mention of findings by the authority, leading me to beleive the animals were fit, healthy and well-fed. What authority would say nothing if that wasn't the case? Please don't get me wrong, I love animals and detest animal cruelty, but I think both sides of the story should be heard. The circus spokesperson stated that the public are welcome to go see the circus animals (including the elephants) after each performance in their living quarters. They've nothing to hide.

first of all if anyone traveling from wiclow to stepaside was on the m50 they would be considered lost and second the garda impounded the trailer that was in the accident on the same day as the crash and still have it to this day, so how could the same trailer be involved in this accident
