We believe last night&rsquo;s vote should be the start of a new era for the tigers, lions and other majestic animals forced to endure circus life, whose welfare needs have been ignored for far too long.</span></p> <p class="PRintroduction" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="PRintroduction" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It is also crucial that the welfare of those wild animals currently in circuses must be considered in the run-up to any ban, and the RSPCA is also calling on the government to secure their future by ensuring they are retired to suitable homes.</span></p> <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #333399; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #000080;"> <p class="PRintroduction" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;</p> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span> <p class="PRintroduction" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #333399;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
