Denmark Paid $1.6 Million To Let The Last 4 Circus Elephants In The Country Retire In Peace
Animal Circus – it’s a black mark in the human society. Many of you might be aware of how circuses used to work in the past. Even people with some unfortunate deformity were placed in cages and treated as display items. While human rights came forward to help these people, animals remained the main attraction of circuses. Elephants, lions, and tigers were kept in cages and trained to perform various tricks for the audience. It was an extremely cruel act and many animal activists have criticized these acts. And now, we are slowly moving towards a proper purging of circuses and their cruel acts.
