Athens : Greece is to ban circuses from using animals.
The government has suggested an amendment in the law on animal rights that will increase the criminal liability for torturing animals, a media report said. Violators will be jailed.
The government has debated the bill since 2009 after a circus trainer was shown on television beating an elephant with a stick.
