Germany’s Krone Circus, home to 26 lions and tigers, has found an unusual side income to raise money despite coronavirus-related restrictions — by selling jars of lion poo.
Customers have told lion tamer Martin Lacey they swear by the stuff.
“I am told it keeps cats away from the garden and since then we have learnt that also it keeps animals away from the car, where they eat all the electric cables,” Lacey said.
The circus’s pop-up shop was also a way to give people a few laughs, Lacey said, as the circus waited to be allowed to perform again.
The jars sell for €5 (R103) each, with some of the money going towards a charity to improve the living conditions of captive animals. — Reuters
