The Review of the science on ‘The Welfare of Wild Animals in Travelling Circuses’ has been published today.  This Review was carried out by Professor Steven Harris, the 2nd Lord Dulverton Memorial Professor of Environmental Sciences at Bristol University.  It is comprehensive in its approach and is to be welcomed.  


The Review collated 764 scientific items from across the world. In the main, they have been peer reviewed from 2007 onwards, which is when the last UK Government Report was published.  


One of the outcomes of the Review was that the use of wild animals in travelling circuses is not restricted to the ‘traditional sense’ of a ‘big top’ circus; it has therefore also considered all of the relevant scientific evidence in relation to Mobile Animal Exhibits (MAEs).  There are a far greater number of these types of businesses, with animals required to undertake various activities at themed events, schools, corporate functions, weddings and parties.  


This subject is complex. The Review suggests “there is a lack of clarity” regarding definitions e.g. “domesticated animal”, “wild species”, “travelling circus”, “mobile zoo” and “performance”, which leads to inconsistencies as to which pieces of legislation apply to which species and in which circumstances.


I have, therefore, asked officials to provide me with detailed options on the next steps regarding the use of wild animals in circuses, as well as further considerations on the use of all animals in MAEs


These options will also be examined by the Wales Animal Health and Welfare Framework Group.  This connects with the responsible ownership of all animals and the standards expected to ensure an animal’s welfare is not compromised.  Working together to produce sustainable outcomes is also a requirement of the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015\. 


The Review can be found at online.


I will keep Members updated.

Mae Adolygiad o wyddoniaeth ‘The Welfare of Wild Animals in Travelling Circuses’ wedi ei gyhoeddi heddiw. Cafodd yr Adolygiad hwn ei gynnal gan yr Athro Steven Harris, yr 2il Arglwydd Dulverton  ̶  Athro Coffa y Gwyddorau Amgylcheddol ym Mhrifysgol Bryste. Mae’n adolygiad cynhwysfawr ac yn un sydd i’w groesawu.    
  


Mae’r Adolygiad wedi casglu ynghyd 764 o eitemau gwyddonol o bob cwr o’r byd. Maent, ar y cyfan, wedi cael eu hadolygu gan gymheiriaid o 2007 ymlaen, pan gafodd yr Adroddiad diwethaf ei gyhoeddi gan Lywodraeth y DU.   

Un o ganlyniadau’r Adolygiad oedd nad dim ond anifeiliaid gwyllt mewn syrcasau teithiol yn yr ‘ystyr draddodiadol’ o syrcas ‘big top’ oedd yn cael eu cynnwys; mae felly wedi ystyried yr holl dystiolaeth wyddonol berthnasol sydd ar gael ar gyfer Arddangosfeydd Symudol o Anifeiliaid. Mae llawer mwy o’r mathau hyn o fusnesau, lle mae  anifeiliaid yn gorfod gwneud amryfal weithgareddau mewn digwyddiadau â themâu, ysgolion, gweithgareddau corfforaethol, priodasau a phartïon.  

Mae’r pwnc yn un cymhleth. Mae’r Adolygiad yn awgrymu bod “diffyg eglurder” ynghylch diffiniadau e.e. “anifail domestig”, “rhywogaethau gwyllt”, “syrcas deithiol”, “sŵ teithiol” a “perfformiad”. Mae hyn yn arwain at anghysondebau o ran pa ddarnau o ddeddfwriaeth sy’n berthnasol i ba rywogaeth ac o dan ba amgylchiadau.  

O ganlyniad, rwyf wedi gofyn i swyddogion ddarparu opsiynau manwl imi ar y camau nesaf o ran defnyddio anifeiliaid gwyllt mewn syrcasau, yn ogystal ag ystyriaethau eraill ar ddefnyddio pob math o anifail mewn  arddangosfeydd symudol o anifeiliaid.  

Bydd Grŵp Fframwaith Iechyd a Lles Anifeiliaid Cymru yn edrych ar yr opsiynau hyn hefyd.  Mae hyn yn gysylltiedig â bod yn berchennog cyfrifol ar anifail ac yn gysylltiedig hefyd â’r safonau a ddisgwylir er mwyn sicrhau nad oes perygl i les anifail. Mae cydweithio i greu canlyniadau cynaliadwy hefyd yn un o ofynion Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015\. 

Mae’r Adolygiad i’w weld ar y we.  
Byddaf yn mynd ati’n rheolaidd i roi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i Aelodau.
