Police in Indiana performed a daring rescue of ten circus animals from a burning semi-truck on the side of a highway.
The driver had safely exited the truck, though the animals — five zebras, four camels and a miniature horse from the Shrine Circus — were still inside the trailer, police said.
A state trooper, Grant County deputy and a circus member were able to rescue the animals from the trailer, police said. https://trib.al/h9sQK9T

Where's the tiger 🐅 lol
Circuses forcing animals like this to travel should be shut down. I’m glad that enough people were woke to the abuses of Ringling Bros. that they had to shut down.
great save officers……where are those circus clowns????
The cop is so excited gog gogogoo
Awesome job helping them officer's
They all need the Tarzan badge 😂
They were heading Madagascar😂
Just slowly walking over there.. the damn truck is on fire and there is still animals inside.. 😂😂
That happened here in Indiana.
these poor btfl creatures 😢
Thankyou officers for helping the beautiful animals and risking your life thankyou
Good thing there were not lions in there. I wouldn't get eaten trying to do a good deed.
Beautiful work from compassionate officers – thanks for your awesome service!
Who’s got the lions??
Good job by the officers, great work! But as an officer I feel that I need to say this before my head explodes! Hey officer or deputy with the camera on. Truck is on fire, your guys are actively working on removing animals from the truck and need your help. Move your ass dude!!! You were strolling like you’re walking into the convenience store to get a slim Jim and a monster. Move with a purpose!!! Again, good job.
Now if only they cared as much for human life.
We banned animals in our circus’s years ago

THAMK YOU HEROS.
Respect for cops: + 20 points

Good men.
Great job 👏🏼 to all the police 👮🏼♂️ that help
Poor animals have a terrible life in a circus forced to perform (its NOT natural!) Then travelling in trucks (yeh really natural for camels + zebra!!☹️) then inhale smoke.. those poor, poor creatures😢💔💔
👍🏽✌️👮🏼♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wanna thank you officers for saving the animals, animal lover, and I thank you for the bottom of my heart❤
Wow! What a night for Man and Beast! Thank you all for all lives saved!
Good job guys
No hurry! Nice leisurely pace. Man!
Great job cops. Circuses with animals should be banned! Such cruelty has no place in the world!
True fearless heroes❤
Yelling is the WORST thing to do around frightened animals…the dufus
Gosh officer can you walk any SLOWER to save the animals! Thank God for the others who were already helping. He said whoooo when the zebra jumped out. 😂
It's a good job when everyone walks away.
Thank you!!!
Oh $#it that's awesome that they got the animals out!
Thank you!!!! 💙💙
They do not teach this at the academy 😂
Good job guys!
Thank God all these precious animals were rescued…
Put them in game reserves where they can thrive and not be hauled around for human entertainment!!! We need to stop the insanity of zoos n circuses!! 🎪 😱😢🥺
First things first, do you animals have a I.D.?
So the one says there's still more in there and this public servant calmly and SLOWLY walks to not help should be fired for not caring about their job!!!!
Nice to see serving and protecting
What are you doing tonight? I'll take the dog out! Ah no the camel!
Thank you.❤ You Guys are the Best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you to all heroes saved the animals!!! May God bless you all! And please bring them back to the wild work as they should not be in life jail as a money makers and providing stupid fun to human! Thank you again!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Walking slow to be helping
Awesome. Well done, everyone.
