Animals have been an ‘essential’ part of the entertainment industry (read: circus) for so long now that it was almost next to impossible to not think of one while giving the other a thought. 

However, several countries have banned the use of animals in circuses, Circus Roncalli, a German circus decided to get creative along with spreading a message about animal cruelty.

According to reports, the circus used 3D holographic images to fill an 105 ft wide and 5 meters deep arena.

The audience had the opportunity to experience elephants, horses and even a goldfish which were produced by special effects provided by eleven different projectors.

Not always like this, the circus was initially like any other and used real animals for their shows. However, after their founder, Bernhard Paul invested more than $500,000 dollars to use holographic images instead, there was no going back.

The fight to free animals from captivity and circuses has been going on for a while now with several activists accusing the same of mistreatment of animals. This is a great way to spread the message and conserve our wildlife.

The internet expressed its approval of this step and shared their opinions on Twitter.

This is a great initiative and hopefully, this becomes the norm.
