St. Catharines Council will consider banning animal circuses from the Garden City during tonight's council meeting.
Councillor Karrie Porter will bring forward a motion to prohibit performances including animals on any city-owned property.
Her motion states 'St. Catharines is a compassionate city and compassion should extend to both humans and animals...'
Recently a circus in Germany has been making headlines after opting to use 3D holograms in place of real animals.
