World Circus humiliates Tiger in Argentina

DENNOUNCE FROM ARGENTINA

We have received a denounce through GAP Project website about a story of humiliation of a big three-year-old Siberian Tiger, very fat, who was shown to the public in a show promoted by World Circus at the city of San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina.

The tiger was so fat that he was not able to walk and hardly got up on the stage, sustained by a rope around his neck. After the end of the show, the tiger was suspended again and put among two wood pads in a way that his belly floated on the air. Around him several families took pictures, who was only immobilized by ropes, with no other kind of security or protection. There were moments that the tiger got excited and was kept on the place only by the ropes. A man even put his glasses on his head, to be photographed.

This is a humiliation show with an extraordinary animal, that has been being treated in a wrong way by irresponsible circuses owners, who exploit them due to bad human curiosity, and they end up becoming a kind of doll.
