500-kilo dromedary escapes from the Vienna circus and goes on a tour of the country: filmed
DOLO – The dromedary escapes from the circus, havoc in Dolo in the area of the sports facilities yesterday, Tuesday morning 31 January, around 9. It could have marked a new chapter in the saga of the famous film “The Fugitive”, were it not that the protagonist this time instead of being Harrison Fordit was a fine half-ton specimen of this desert animal.
What was a dromedary doing walking around the Brenta Riviera, among other things in the frost of January, it is easy to say: in recent days the Vienna circus he had settled in the space in front of the stadium and the swimming pools of Dolo. On Sunday the shows were over and the circus performers were preparing to dismantle the equipment, when one of them managed to run away from the metal fence set up for the dromedaries, before being caught again after a tour of the surroundings. And one can easily imagine the astonishment of those who found the large animal in front of the car, even risking running over it. The faces and comments of those who had gone there for the morning classes, finding themselves face to face with an animal of around 500 kilos, veered between amused and worried: some laughed at the unusual encounter, some declared themselves lucky not to have Jostled, who was worried about his fate and hoped he would recover quickly, before something bad happened to him or to some passerby.
«Luckily it was a dromedary who escaped and not the white tiger! – commented a more critical citizen – How is it possible to keep animals in enclosures that are so light that they don’t even seem safe? I understand that they are an attraction for a club, but nowadays they should no longer allow animals, for their safety and that of all ».
Some citizens also called the police who, however, were engaged on other fronts, therefore the circus workers had to get away with it on their own, in a relatively short time, without damage to people or things, guaranteeing the absolute safety of the an animal that evidently had to resign himself to interrupting his escape early. In the rest of Dolo no one seems to have noticed anything, not even in the town hall, and it was the story of eyewitnesses that began to spread from mouth to mouth in the early afternoon. Certainly the girl in the car who first found it in front of her had a few good moments of fear: she stopped in the middle of the road she saw the animal walk away undisturbed, while she mentally thanked her own quick reflexes .
