      According to BBC news, in Italy 4 tigers mauled circus trainer to death during circus rehearsal.

      Ettore Webere, 61, one of the most famous animal trainer was mauled by one tiger before three others joined.

      When circus staff and medics intervened, Mr. Weber was still alive but died from his injuries later in the hospital. Ettore Weber worked at Orfei circus in Italy for a show "Animal Park", the show was travelling around the globe seeing different wild animals.

      Tragedy took place in Triggiano city, currently it is not confirmed if Orfei circus will continue the tour because of this terrible accident. 

      At the moment 20 countries in EU and around 40 countries around the world banned animals use in circuses. Big part of European art culture and circus culture are damaged and destoyed with efforts of zoo activists. TRADITIONAL CIRCUS as part of European and North American culture are slowly dying under pressure of zoo activists and entertainment and circus corporations. As an example world known Ringling Brothers was forced to close in the US and moved to China, where continue to entertain audience with their traditional shows.
