AGI – Panic in Ladispoli, near Rome, where a lion escaped Circus in Viale Mediterraneo. The animal was caught around 10 p.m. after taking refuge in a thicket of reeds and was captured walking through some streets of the city on the Lazio coast.
Various user videos who switch from chat to chat on WhatsApp. The alert remained very high for several hours: surrounded by police and carabinieri, he was sedated and taken back to the circus.

“For those who will begin to ask: why does the circus with animals still come to Ladispoli? Why did the mayor approve the circus? The answer is that I didn’t approve anything,” he adds, “it’s not up to me to do it, and unfortunately We cannot ban circuses with animals from coming to our city. In 2017 we tried, but we lost the appeal to the TAR and also had to reimburse the appellants’ legal fees. Until the rules change, we won’t be able to do otherwise.”
