Mexico needs to find new homes for at least 2,000 tigers, elephants, giraffes, zebras and other exotic animals that will soon be banned from the country’s circuses.
Circus owners across Mexico are worried about the fate of their animals, which they say will be too expensive to keep once the ban kicks in. Meanwhile, government and zoo officials face multiple problems of how and where to relocate the animals, whose bad fortune is to have been raised to perform tricks under the big top.
