Local legislation information for circus animals performing on council owned land

North Yorkshire Council did not have the information requested.

Dear North Yorkshire County Council,

I wish to request through the Freedom of Information Act, the following details, in answer to the questions below:

1) Does this this council allow circuses with performing animals that were caught in the wild, to use council owned land for its shows (or any other business)?

2) Does the council allow circuses with performing animals that are normally wild, but were bred in captivity, to use council land for its shows?

3) Does the council allow circuses with performing animals that are domesticated (or domestic if you make a further distinction) to use council owned land for its shows?

Thanking you. I hope I can receive your soonest response please.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Aniel Paranjpe
UK Citizen.
