Mexico Citys government overwhelmingly passed a law on June 2014, which imposed stiff penalties of up to $60, 000 on circuses in the capital that use animals such as lions, camels and horses in their performances.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Henry Romero, a majestic tiger is seen confined within a cage before a rehearsal at the Fuentes Boys Circus in Mexico City. The image portrays the intricate details of the tiger's fur and its piercing gaze, drawing viewers into its world. Through the fence that separates it from freedom, we catch a glimpse of this wild animal, highlighting both its beauty and vulnerability. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an important environmental issue. In June 2014, Mexico City's government passed a law imposing strict penalties on circuses that exploit animals for entertainment purposes. With fines reaching up to $60,000, circuses were given one year to comply with these regulations. The image captures the atmosphere surrounding this significant moment in time when animal welfare took center stage. It showcases the creative use of depth of field to emphasize the tiger's presence while maintaining focus on its surroundings. As we observe this picturesque scene devoid of people but filled with an ominous sense of captivity, our attention is drawn towards protecting these magnificent creatures and preserving their natural habitats. This close-up encounter with such a powerful yet vulnerable creature evokes empathy and encourages us to reflect upon our responsibility towards wildlife conservation. Overall, Romero's photograph beautifully encapsulates both the inherent beauty found in nature and society's growing concern for animal protection – reminding us all that every living being deserves respect and compassion.
