Titolo: [Slightly OT] Indian police investigate Russian circus animal deaths (BBC) per SdC.

Si tratta di una lezione di inglese della BBC che propongo a SdC, 
considerando il suo interesse per gli animali e gli atti di sabotaggio.

Indian police investigate Russian circus animal deaths
 
Police in India are investigating the deaths of twenty-one animals in a 
fire in a Russian circus performing in Mumbai. The Russian circus 
company is believed to have abandoned the animals after losing money. 
This report from Zubair Ahmed:
Listen to the story
Animal rights activists say they're outraged by the incident. They have 
urged the court for an investigation into the deaths of the animals. 
According to a local firm, which did publicity for the circus, the 
Russian circus company officials quietly left the city and the country 
after they were unable to pay the loans. And the company says the 
officials abandoned the animals too. The Russian circus company, called 
Russian Circus on Ice, was not just making losses, but it was also 
allegedly duped of eight hundred thousand dollars by a north-east 
India-based events management company. It was this company that had 
invited the circus to perform in India.
 During the three week-long performance in Mumbai, the company is 
believed to have suffered huge losses. Police say all the officials of 
the events management company are absconding. They have launched an 
investigation into the fire that killed the twenty-one animals on Monday 
evening. They say they can't rule out the possibility of sabotage, but 
they would not elaborate.

Giusto, a me le storie di orsi tristi, ed elefanti affranti mi strappano 
il cuore. Ma magari tu hai gia' dato tanto affetto  a buoi vedovi e 
somari vilipesi...

Giusto,
Felice di sentire che sei d'accordo e lo riconosci :)

Eh, lo so che la tua buona educazione lascia un po' a desiderare...
Senno' saresti un critico negativo apprezzato, forse riverito...

Avra' querelato pure madre natura, sicuro.
