The Senate on Wednesday
approved a measure for the "gradual" phasing out of the use of
animals in circuses as part of a bill on the entertainment
sector.
The measure was approved with 147 votes in favour, 47 against
and 23 abstentions following mediation by government that led to
it being tweaked.
The version approved by a committee called for the
"elimination" of animals in circuses, rather than them being
phased out.
