Leona Lewis is celebrating a ban on wild animals

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.
