They can't let the elephants just wander off through the city. It is necasary to keep them in captivity because they are going extinct in the wild because nobody wants them in their backyard. There are always more people and less animals. Circus elephants get more enrichment and protection than other elephants in the world. they are lucky people aren't shooting them or starving them in the wild.
Yeah are u really 10 years old......Circus Animals live horrible lives, and Elephants are chained up in trailers for up to 90 percent of their lives...F A C T!
i don't know if i saw any animal abuse per say but I do feel really sad when looking at this. Elephants are such noble majestic creatures and look at what we have turned them into.
one more thing to consider noco01, why is it that when the elphants are marching they are silent, but when they are "directed" with the hook, they trumpet in pain..
hey noco01, how does an elephant express pain? have u ever seen an elephant use facial expressions to show pain? no. i think the only way for them to express pain is by sound. and in the video you hear the "compassionate" "loving" "positive" trainers yelling at them and poking them with a long pointy stick. So, based on what i have seen i think that the elephant is expressing pain.
WOW, you like to manipulate words, The animals must hide it well. Any time I have seen animals in discomfort they tend to show it and those elephants did not seem in discomfort. How is it that you feel you know all of the truths that other people do not see. I agress some circus may not be great but Ringling has a stellar reputation. I guess it causes more of a reaction when you go for the big names.
I do not see any cruely. Is it cruel to walk a dog on a leash. Even if they are using something to guide these elephants they do not seem to being cruel at all. The elephants seem healthy and the caregivers never seemed cruel. If the elephants were being beaten or stabbed they sure seem hide it well. I have seen the circus in action and they have a great reputation for their care for these animals.
seems like there is no kind of laws against crulety to animals in usa? I have read that the workers on that cirkus has been punished for eveything between drug possession to murder, that doesn't sound like a good family entertaining. i hope that every one in usa boycott that shit!
How is an elephants "waiste" anymore toxic than your own,as well as the waiste from the factory farms your dinner comes from?...Damn right elephants are driven to crushing shit,just to bad they seem to still not stomp out people,no matter how cruel we are to them...
Elephant, horses, camels, donkeys, oxen etc, were the basic motors of many cultures. I oppose animal cruelty because it is not needed for training an animal either for work or for pleasure. I own animals. It is my right and pleasure.
then look at the big stick with the very sharp ends used to stab and pull the elephants around . that is a bullhook-used for punishment. like someone stuck a hammer up your nose and yanked you down the street . that's cruelty .
You halfwit "These are just plain elephants walking down the street" they shouldn't be in the street in the first place and these c**ts abuse them. They live in fear and misery for people's "entertainment". They are stolen and MADE to perform tricks, MADE as in doing something they don't want to do or should never have to do.
Simple Boycott, boycott, boycott.

If only the elephants knew that they are strong enough to kill them. Just rip that little stick away and give them a few whackings.
