UPDATED MARCH 18, 2014 - NOT GOOD - BAN on Sports Hunting • Zoos & Circuses with Animals in Costa Rica

UPDATED MARCH 18, 2014
Alas, this law was struck down because the powers that be screwed up and did not give notification they would NOT renew the lease in a timely manner.  Ahhhh - life in Costa Rica!!!:


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Did you now that in 2002, Costa Rica banned Circuses with wild animals??

And that Costa Rica is the FIRST country in the Continent to PROHIBIT Sports Hunting  - news.co.cr/hunting-for-sport-outlawed-in-costa-rica/18707 (punishable with a fine of up to 1,800,000 colones ($3600)?

Sports fishing and hunting for subsistence/to sustain one's self/food or to control species is STILL legal.

Costa Rica is also intending on CLOSING ALL it's government run/owned Zoo's and release them into the wild or sent to rescue centers and they plan on turning the Simon Bolivar Zoo in central San Jose into a botanical park.
