The banning of the use of animals in circuses continues to spread throughout Mexico as Coahuila has become the next state to do so.

According to EFE, the ban means that animals can not be used in circus shows or in parades promoting shows. This ban also applies to the use of rabbits and doves in magician acts.

The state legislature agreed on the decision unanimously.

According to Jose Refugio Sandoval, a Mexican Green Party (PVEM) lawmaker, the banning of the animal “vaccinates” the community from violence and ends the cycle of children growing up and seeing animal abuse as commonplace.

• • In addition to Coahuila, states including Colima, Guerrero, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos and Queretaro have banned the use of animals in circus acts..
