Lion poo will see off pests

A CIRCUS forced to close by Covid is making extra cash by selling lion dung.

Home owners are buying big-cat poo to spread in their gardens and scare off pets or other animals that might damage plants.

The droppings are sold in jars at the Krone Circus in Munich, Germany and can also be bought online for shipment abroad.

The circus has even erected a large outdoor sculpture dubbed Mr Poo to celebrate the new marketing venture.
