Ban on performing animals overturned
The town of Winschoten in Groningen cannot ban circuses with performing animals within its boundaries because this is a matter for national government, a court in the city of Groningen said on Tuesday.
In 2006, Winschoten became the first place in the country to ban circus animals.
