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.
Circus spokesman frank Keller dismissed the concerns, saying “it was an
accident. That happens also unfortunately at the circus.”
One audience member suffered minor scrapes in the incident but the circus says he stayed to see the end of the show.
