"Elephants in circuses are reduced to objects of entertainment for people. An elephant's place is in the wild with its relatives and companions. The totally unnatural existence for circus elephants is a travesty and to allow this practice to continue is unjustified and unethical. The elephants are not happy, nor do they enjoy what they are doing. The maintenance and training of circus elephants involves emotional and physical abuse. "
I hate to rain on your parade, but they abuse their elephants to get them to perform the way they do. Search YouTube and you'll find the videos. I used to love going to the circus and watching them perform until I learned about their treatment.

It's a sad irony that people who love seeing the elephants don't know that the circus abuses them backstage. If they know, hopefully they won't go.
