Lions should roam the wild and not be tamed. I feel so deeply sorry for Circus lions even if they can ride a horse. These pictures come from the animal park at Xiamen in Fujian, south-east China, where the public seem to delight in humiliating circus-style stunts and have no regard for animal cruelty. Apparently the conditions in the zoo are poor, with lions, tigers and leopards and other large animals including bears kept in solitary confinement in tiny cages (via).
