The head of the Russian Circus spoke about the fate of retired animals

Circus animals of advanced age go to nature parks. This was announced on April 18 by Sergey Belyakov, CEO of Rosgoscirc.

"Nature parks have been created and are successfully operating in our country, which are happy to welcome our four—legged artists," Belyakov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Belyakov also noted the possibility of transferring retired animals to zoos, but for Roscirc, the priority is to preserve their habitual habitat.
