Germany's Roncalli circus has replaced live animals with holograms of elephants, lions, and other exotic creatures.
Due to concerns over animal welfare, the circus stopped using lions and elephants in its shows in 1991. But it went further in 2018 and completely removed live animals from its programme.
"It is no longer appropriate for Roncalli to show real animals in the ring".
