This is the horrifying moment when a circus tiger convulsed after jumping through the fire hoops.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himThis is the horrible time when atCircus tiger had seizures after jumping through the fire circles.
Her name is Zena, she is 6 years old and has always performed in a Russian circus.
Her trainer, Artur Bagdasarov, who drags her by the tail and pours buckets of water over her head in the video, defended her actions, saying she feared there would be a "bloodbath".
The other tigers, in fact, could have attacked the animal in distress, and the tamer himself.
The latter therefore denies the allegations of animal cruelty, as well as the use of a stun gun - as some online comments claim -, insisting that the animal suddenly fell prey to convulsions for unknown reasons, and in so doing. sparked an emergency in the cage he was performing in.
The video shows how the tiger gradually recovered, after what may have been a "epileptic seizure".
The animal now seems to be fine ... ahead of a new performance on Sunday.
This is the circus with animals. A horror that stops at nothing.
But you can stop the 'show'. Don't go to the circus with animals.
A different reality is possible.
