Animal cruelty remains a hot topic in Russia, with two politicians in the governing Duma body proposing a bill that would ban the inclusion of animal performers in circuses.
A circus trainer almost met his end in front of a live audience when a performing bear turned on him during a show in front of hundreds of children and parents. 'Towards the end of the act, the bear snapped at Sergei and wrestled with him,' Nikita Mikhailov, head of the Moretti Circus, told reporters after the incident. 'Their performance continued.
Russia has struggled with animal rights as a high-profile issue in recent years, leading Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018 to sign a bill banning all forms of animal cruelty, according to TASS. The law, however, did not cover animal performances, which have remained a focus for animal rights activists.
