About this statute
This law says wild animals, native or exotic, may not be used in fixed or itinerant circuses. Prohíbe usar animales silvestres, nativos o exóticos, en espectáculos de circos fijos e itinerantes en todo el territorio nacional. Las autoridades nacionales y locales no pueden emitir licencias para circos itinerantes que usen animales silvestres dos años después de la publicación de la ley. Circos must adapt shows within two years to avoid wild or exotic species, deliver wild animals to environmental authorities, and get any needed export permits for exotic species and their offspring. Esta disposición indica que la ley se ajusta a la normatividad y a los protocolos nacionales existentes sobre decomiso de animales y su manejo.
