A 280-kilo tiger, belonging to the controversial trainer Carmen Zander, “Queen of the Tigers” in Germany, escaped and attacked an elderly person, so it was immediately shot dead by police.

The organization PETA had already filed complaints against the woman over the conditions in which her animals are kept, in addition to operating illegally, and held the authorities responsible for not having acted against her earlier.

The mayor of the city of Leipzig, where the events took place in Germany, ordered the transfer of the tigers and the suspension of the trainer’s performances.

A story that makes us question whether circuses and zoos should exist for our entertainment ❤️‍🩹
