-Wild animal being made to do tricks, to me, it's abuse. -A*, quick! A*, good boy, over!

The C*field family have been taming lions for generations, but after a summer of protests, petitions and political intervention, they've got a fight on their hands than never before.

-Good boy, on your place.

People let their motions get better of them. With these arguments, it's very easy to appeal someone's need to be angry, and you can win a lot of people over like that. -Have a kiss, Kiss.

This is one of the only three remaining wild animal circuses left in the country, and only one with big cats. Various pools point anywhere between 60 and 95 percent of the public wanting a ban, but it's been in the pipeline for years. -The last government said it would ban it. This government said it's committed to a ban, but if you ask them what's going on, now given the same answer they've been giving, for more than a year, which it will happen when the parliamentary tie allows, but it seems, under increasing pressure here in Wales, the assembly might be acting alone.

-There's been new issue in Netherlands. Many countries, 17 now all together, actually banned the uesd wild animals and circuses, so looking at that new research, what that could tell us in terms of how we can move forward with legislation here in Wales?

The last major report in the UK found little evidence that well-fed animals kept in travelling circuses is any better or worse than those in zoos. This show with clearly to Wales, but deny permission to perform in England for the first time this year because of the size of the cats' sleeping area. They didn't refuse us. They just said that we have to...

-It was a reject though, wasn't it? That's a refusal, isn't it?

-No, it wasn't a reject of it. They gave us recommendations in order to move forward to obtain the licence. But the time for the application ran out. They said we had to start the process again, because there's a time limit issue on it. The team hoped to build a new enclosure by crowd funding. They say they're getting a lot of support from paying customers.

-I thought it was a wonderful show, magnificent tr* both lions and tigers.

-There are pools that say, you know, that 90 percent of people in this country don't want wild animals used in circuses. Do you think the pools are wrong? Do you think people do want this?

-Yeah, that's why those come today. The tore of Wales is almost over, and the future of the circus has never been more uncertain, but despite all of this, Mr. C*field is determined to continue. -The day that the demand dries up for this type of work will be the day we would have to stop, but that hasn't come yet. The only thing that's really going to stop me doing from what I'm doing in the minute is me falling dead. But with so much st* against him, Mr. C*field could well live up to his nickname as the Britain's last lion tamer. Joe Tiddy, Sky News, in T*.
