Shocking video footage from China shows two lions in a circus escaping from their enclosure during a live performance, with terrified spectators running for their lives. Women and children can be heard screaming with fear.
Luoyang, Henan, China
Everything went wrong!
It is clear that these animals do not want to do these silly tricks. Leave the animals alone and let them live their lives in peace.
I think these lions look skinny. How are they punished now? Beating and starving?#animalcruelty pic.twitter.com/ypkV4HNx7c

China’s Global Times newspaper reported that the trainers and breeders were able to catch the lions and no injuries were reported in the incident. However, the circus has been asked to suspend its operations.
