Summary
A proposed citywide ordinance to ban shows with wild or exotic animals (including circuses and rodeos) in the city of Albany, NY was introduced in the Albany Common Council on 4/19/10. A committee hearing on this matter may be scheduled later this year. Public hearings require 20 days notice. Updated information will be provided once more information is obtained about possible hearings. NO ACTION by Circus Fans is required at this time, unless you live in Albany or the surrounding area.
