Description
BERLIN – An animal right’s group has called for a ban on wild animals at circuses in Germany, after an Indian elephant veered off its scripted performance and headbutted another elephant into a shocked audience.
The incident occurred when three elephants being ridden by circus performers were concluding their act Wednesday and one suddenly rammed another out of a ring into the crowd.
Peta spokeswoman Yvonne Wuerz told dpa news agency Thursday that wild animals cannot be properly cared for or managed in a circus environment and should be banned.
