One of UK's last reptile markets to stop after animal rights group pressure

A reptile market at Doncaster Racecourse will not go ahead after June following pressure from an animal rights groupIt claimed animals were kept in poor conditions during the shows

The Animal Protection Agency said it was "delighted" it had convinced Doncaster Council to end the show, with the final event taking place at Doncaster Racecourse on 19 June. The International Herpetological Society, which organised the event, said it was "saddened" to be leaving the town, which it blamed on "a campaign of harassment" by activists.

The group has worked for several years with councils across the country to clamp down on reptile markets.
