The animal, immortalized in several videos posted on social media and gone viral, died after being brought back with difficulty to the circus enclosure. The death was reported to the competent veterinary service, which sent veterinarians to the site on Sunday morning.
The circus owner declared that he found him dead on Saturday evening, 24 hours after he had escaped from the circus after the enclosure was opened by unknown persons, who he had reported to the police.
The autopsy will clarify the causes of death. It was a young crossbreed of camel born last August, in captivity by a couple in possession of the circus.
“A dramatic epilogue that of the escape of the young camel from the Togni Circus of Fuorigrotta. We demand that his sudden death be clarified as soon as possible, clarifying whether it is in some way also connected to the strong stress suffered by the animal following his escape and the daring recovery after he had wandered among the cars in the traffic of Naples.
This is yet another episode in which an animal pays with its life for its forced 'detention' in a circus, forced along with its peers to live in captivity and perform degrading and humiliating acts. Circuses with animals are cruel and should be closed as soon as possible.
We wonder how long the government will remain deaf and blind to the country's will to proceed with the progressive decommissioning of these horrifying spectacles". Borrelli and Gaeta: "Dramatic epilogue, we want the truth about the causes of death and whether it was determined by the stress suffered by the animal"
