Lion Wanders Through Italian Town After Escaping Circus
The local residents in the Italian city of Ladispol witnessed a real drama yesterday - a lion was walking through the streets there in the evening.
The animal escaped from the circus, and scared the inhabitants so much that they locked themselves in their homes.
Yesterday evening, the residents of Ladispoli, near Rome, were surprised by the news that an escaped lion was roaming their streets. He was on the loose for several hours and successfully eluded the police - finally they found him, put him to sleep and successfully returned him to the circus.
Alessandro Grando, the mayor of Ladispoli, warned residents to stay at home and not walk the streets as police tried to catch the lion with the help of circus staff.
At the same time, he also emphasized that he himself did not allow the presence of a circus in which animals would entertain the visitors, but that he did not have enough authority to prevent it. Many residents have pointed out online the fact that the circus mistreats animals.
