Leona Lewis is celebrating a ban on wild animals

  • June 24, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

Animal lover and part-time popstar Leona Lewis was cel­eb­rat­ing yesterday after MPs in Britain agreed a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses.

Lewis tweeted her joy after hearing that a bill had been passed in the Commons that would see a ban in place as of July next year.

She tweeted at Hackney MP Diane Abbott: "Such incred­ible news today! thanks @hackneyabbott for sup­port­ing the circus animal ban! U have made the dif­fer­ence!". She went on to tweet: "We did it! We did it! I'm just so happy thank u all for sup­port­ing the ban our voices were heard!"

However, The Guardian are reporting that the Government are not bound by law to change the current reg­u­la­tions.

At the time of writing, Leona has yet to tweet a response, pre­fer­ring instead to ask her fans to guess how long it's taken her to come up with a question to ask her fans. The winner gets a follow for one week only. THAT'S NOT WHAT TWITTER WAS INVENTED FOR.
