Morbihan: six months suspended prison sentence for mistreatment of lions in a circus. Antonia Fleury, 61, and her son Teddy Gougeon, 38, who belong to the traveling circus community, were both absent from the hearing.
Private detectives from the animal rights association noted how three lions, a male and two females, were kept all day in the compartment of a cage truck measuring only 15 m2. Neither Ms. Fleury nor her sons did not hold a certificate of capacity to care for such animals or authorization to operate this circus.
