“#Play slammed over safety as live wolves chase, ‘maul’ actors<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

They\u2019re being accused of throwing their actors to the wolves. <\/p>\n

Viewers are raising safety concerns over a Chinese play, in which real-life wolves were seen chasing performers through the middle of a crowded theater in Xi\u2019an. A clip of the Colosseum-esque exhibition<\/a> currently boasts 433 million views on the Chinese media<\/a> platform Weibo. <\/p>\n

In the shocking footage of the show \u2014 titled \u201cTuoling Legend,\u201d or \u201cThe Legend of Camel Bell\u201d \u2014 wolves can be seen pursuing performers across the stage sans any leashes or safety harnesses. <\/p>\n

At one point, the apex predators leave the stage and chase the actors through the packed aisles while audiences record the shocking scene. The toothy thespians even act out fight scenes with a wolf pretend-mauling one of the performers as they flail about on the ground. <\/p>\n

The controversial scene was part of a visual history of the Silk Road \u2014 an ancient trade route \u2014 in which the wolves were meant to symbolize the dangers China\u2019s ancient camel warriors would face while traversing Central Asia, CNN reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Online viewers were flabbergasted over the hyper-realistic stunt, which they thought literally threw the actors \u2014 and the audience \u2014 to the wolves. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would lose my mind if just sitting there,\u201d one aghast gawker commented on Weibo, while another wondered, \u201cWhat if something unexpected happ<\/a>ens?\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Huaxia Cultural Tourism, the company behind the show, insisted that the \u201cwolves are safe and won\u2019t hurt people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wolves have been domesticated for three to four generations,\u201d a representative said in a statement. \u201cThey are legally raised and trained by professional trainers with certifications since 2018 and no accident happened in the past three years.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to further ensure the safety of the audience, the company put up protective nets between the stage and seats, according to CNN. Meanwhile, the actors reportedly donned safety gear so they wouldn\u2019t get injured while play-fighting with their canine co-stars, the representative added.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time a Chinese production has employed the services of these four-legged performers. Jean-Jacques Annaud\u2019s 2015 Chinese ecological epic \u201cWolf Totem\u201d made headlines over its use of wolves that were raised from pups and trained to\u00a0perform a variety of complex stunts on-screen.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
