They just
marched the elephants into Madison Square Garden, under the customary
animal rights protests. But next year they may not get to: the
Times tells us the city council bill
first floated by Rose Mendez to
ban circus elephants and other wild animals from the city has nearly enough votes to pass. (Zoos seem to be exempt.) The bill still might not go through -- for one thing, other animal-rights measures like Tony Avella's
anti horse-drawn carriage bill have long lingered in the council, and speaker
Christine Quinn is said to be unenthusiastic about this one -- but the near-majority of confirmed supporters makes it more likely. Then we'll get to the horses, and then to those people who dress their
pets animal companions up in
funny outfits.
