Elephant Row
A row has broken out over the return of elephants to the British circus after almost ten years.
3 elephants are to make their debut at the big top at the Great British Circus this Friday, but not every one is pleased.
Campaigners claim that it isn’t natural for elephants to be kept by circuses, and the RSPCA wants a ban completely on the use of wild animals in circuses.
The Great British Circus, however, claim it’s doing nothing wrong.
The circus based in Lincolnshire, is one of the country’s biggest circuses. Bosses of the circus say their animals are quite happy and are well looked after and think people DO want to go to the circus to see them.

Warning to dog owners
Dog owners in Nottinghamshire are being warned not to overfeed their pets by vets, as it may leave their dogs with serious health problems.
It comes after the news of a Labrador weighing about 8 stone (51 kilograms) was brought in to Ruddington Veterinary Centre last week.
The Labrador, Louie, has now been put on a strict diet to control his weight.
Veterinary nurse Lisa Hyde said “It’s potentially life-threatening to him. It’ll probably reduce his life-span by about five years if he carries on the way he’s going.”
“He could develop joint problems, arthritis. It’s going to put a big strain on his heart and he could also develop conditions like diabetes.

Rare tortoise ‘to become a dad’
An endangered tortoise living in the Galapagos Islands, South America could be about ‘to become a dad’.
George is very rare because he’s the last surviving tortoise of his kind.
For years, experts at Galapagos National Park have been hoping he would have babies with his companions.
Rangers have now discovered a nest of eggs in his enclosure which they hope will hatch into babies.
Good luck George!
