Moulin Rouge halts Python number after animal rights protests

In the controversial number, a dancer performs with python snakes in a transparent pool on stage. Animal rights activists were up in arms because water is not the natural habitat of pythons. It was clear to see during the performances that the animals were trying to keep their heads above water.

After the protests by animal rights activists, the Paris city administration also called for an end to the Python number on Thursday.
