Reply #3: This poor elephant probably goes through hell every day.....I hate circuses, they

[secondwind]

abuse the poor animals so terribly, to get them to perform. Their entire lives consist of long hours on railroad cars, going from state to state, then held in small confined spaces until it is time to go out and "perform" like idiots, then back to the cage, then "perform" again in the afternoon, or even at night again.

Repeat the process. Day in, and day out, week in and week out, until they die.

Cruelty beyond belief.

And Ringling Bros. is the worst....they like to use the "hooks" on baby elephants to train them. :puke:
