Although an Armenian act the Vardanyan Brothers has impressed the talent show’s judges, PETA criticised the circus which one of Britain's Got Talent’s semi-final acts used to work for of animal cruelty, The Independent reported.
According to PETA, the Vardanyan Brothers used to work for Circus Sochi, which is known for using animals in its acts.
A source close to the Vardanyan Brothers tells The Independent that the duo would "never condone cruelty to animals and are against the abuse or neglect of any animal”.
"They’d hate for anyone to think otherwise, " the source noted.
Britain’s Got Talent also published a statement refuting any allegations that the Vardanyan brothers mocked the animals.
The TV show final is scheduled for June 2.
