Apparently her circus companions are African elephants, which I read weren't as suited for hauling because they're not as stocky. I realize elephants are more frequently used as pack animals in Asia than in Africa, but I would think the bigger African elephants would be stronger. Maybe it's a breeding thing.

I think the best way to clean up that town, pile up all the wood and get some gas and burn it. Take the cars and pile them up and call the metal recycler to sell the scrap steel and buy everyone a meal and call it done. Pet the elephant because he worked his tusks off.
would be nice if the g.o.p. fake elephants would haul out their sense of humanity and get out of the way of funding for the relief for these people.....I can dream can't I??

THIS IS DESPICABLE AND DEPLORABLE. Circus=a five letter word for EVIL. These opportunists have no shame. PROVIDE A FUCKING BULLDOZER TO HAUL THE DEBRIS, NOT YOUR ANIMAL PRISONERS, CIRCUS ASSHOLES.
Should have had the Kenyon King Obummer out there... Showing everybody how great is.... Oh, that is right... He is to busy, drinking $1000'00 a bottle wine.... And on vacation... Wonder how many rounds of golf he played on this last vacation...?
What's weird to me is, It's my house, My car, And noone there asked me if It was okay? I mean, It's pretty cool but I hadnt finished diggn through what was left yet and after being looted, I don't quite understand why they did that without asking me first.. I was in that house when the tornado hit and lemme say, It was a crazy day. I am still trying to heal my severe injuries and sorta feel violated... But, I also feel like Wow!!! An elephant towed my car!!Wish i coulda been there.
Thumbs up if you were thinking, what the fuck is this elephant gonna do, pick up a 2x4 or something, and then the fucker pulls a destroyed car out of some rubble, and you were like, oh snap that fucker just yanked a car out of that like a hot wheels.
I love how the circus can wing it so fast turning an entertainment show into a make shift recovery effort. To all the animal abuse folks, shove it up your ass. It's not abuse when humans try to remove the car by pulling it? To an elephant, pulling a car is like an adult pulling a shopping cart full of groceries. Can't believe you people are worried about animals when thousands of people have lost everything.
Jeez, lots of stoner hate around here. Considering that most of the full-time volunteers I know are smokers and when I was in college the bleeding-heart hippie crowd were the first folks you went to for donations of time and work, I don't know how y'all are associating smokers with all these bored haters. Stoners have better things to do, like stare at the wall until it's time for the Habitat house-raising.
I hope you animal rights whiners never go to the circus. Circus elephants spend their entire lives training to do tricks. They are used to doing things like this, and moving a car is probably a walk in the park for it. Does it look like it's struggling? Find something more constructive to complain about.
@SchnauzerVictim Zero emission my ass. Even a hamster has the equivalent emission of a plasma tv.
Captive animals are dependent on human food production, which means tractors and distribution networks etc... and an elephant has to eat a lot, plus they breath, shit and you can't turn them off.
It would be more ecologically responsible if we all drove around in a Dodge Ram while banning all domestic animals and stopped throwing food away.
@noxure Elephant emissions are welcome in my compost heap anytime, up to the limits of my ability to use manure. Can't say the same for what comes out of the exhaust pipe of a truck.
@mschark The exact same thing happened to my boots. Ripped the bottom in half off of one of them. Luckily I got another pair before going back out on Sunday. We were down the street earlier in the day and the circus crew helped us for a few hours. Saw first hand one of them step on a nail--the guy in purple on the right. His foot was bleeding but he just put his shoe back on and kept going. Bless you for your help.
All you people saying its not animal abuse are absurd...its not the elephant moving the car that's abuse...its the giant bullhook in the guys hand that they use to whack the elephants with that is abuse...sure he may not have used it in this video, but behind the scenes that is an abused animal.
@oxSam11 Have you forgotten that there are hundreds of dead innocents and still handfulls of missing HUMANS?
I think the elephant can handle it. I DON'T think the families of those who have been affected can handle the devastation that has landed in their laps without help.
@KruNae I'm not downplaying the devastation of the people..I myself have donated money, but that doesn't make animal abuse right or less important..and to say the elephant can handle it is ignorant, no animal should have to "handle" abuse. Animals are not slaves, the same as people are not slaves.
@oxSam11 Did you ever consider it's nearly impossible to get machinery down there to help? Hundreds of people are injured or dead and you feel the need to complain about a whip. Elephants are incredible, graceful, strong animals and the amount of respect most circus folk have for them is immense. People are missing their mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers and if enlisting the help of one elephant helps them get found, so be it. I think the elephant can handle it.
@darknessisaharshterm You clearly need to do your research if you think circus folk have respect for the animals. 99% of them are abused and beaten and neglected their entire lives.
@darknessisaharshterm what are you talking about 100's of people? LOL you don't have a clue what you are talking about this isn't a war zone. Watch the videos on my channel to see how much respect circus folk have.
@vincehexum Stepped on 3 nails myself. Went through the boot but didnt pierce my foot. Hope you stopped and got one of the free tetanus shots anyway. The people there were so lovely considering how crazy it all was. Plan on going back in a few weeks to help more.
@vincehexum Yes I did get a free tetanus shot from one of the roaming nurses. I ruined the pair of boots I was wearing by getting snagged on some debris and tore the tread off....I had to wear it like that for the next day b/c I didnt have a spare pair. A nail went thru the second day, but I only got scratch. One of our team when through the floor of a house while carrying some cement rubble, but he was OK.. God Bless you for helping out too!!
screw what all the animal protesters think, I think this is awesome. I am sure the owners wouldn't do anything to hurt the elephant in the process. The elephant can do quite a bit of the same tasks that a crane would be required to do, but when the elephant is done it can be easily moved to another area where the crane cannot. It seemed a bit quirky at first, but I think it is a great idea.
Weak worthless human! How can you use an animal like that! It's not fair! Poor babies !! I HATE when animals are used like this! I don't care that It doesnt bother him, he's short of his freedom!
@susie96mjfan Shut your trap and go down to Joplin to help. You have no idea how helpful this animal is. I was there all weekend picking up rubble by hand, along with hundreds of other people. Yea, a tractor could do this, but good luck finding one that isn't already preoccupied clearing rubble from another one of the 5000 houses that are destroyed.
@vincehexum You are an idiot, you can't find a truck so you think its ok to abuse an elephant? That's not the elephants problem you can't find a fucking truck or dozer. Contact your gov and ask where the hell the heavy machinery is instead of abusing an already abused elephant. This just shows what a bunch of low lifers this area is composed of if they don't even have the education to understand what has been done to this circus elephant.
@SmokeHashSpendCash FYI - I spent two days PICKING UP RUBBLE (or "rumble" as you spelled it) BY HAND. Maybe you should put down your hash pipe and get out of your parent's basement. I'm planning another trip to Joplin for the relief effort. Let me know when I can expect your HELP.
@SmokeHashSpendCash Wow, you posted a self-righteous comment from the safety of your home. How much time and effort have YOU donated to help anyone out?
I don't believe the ele was used as a primary source of debris removal. Just a simple spirit lifter for the people of Joplin. They were unable to have the circus (which they were going to allow children free admission after the tornado) so they thought they would take the circus to the people. The ele is not in distress and spirits were lifted. Job well done Picadilly Circus!
Unless you live in or around Joplin you cannot imagine how important a simple spirit lifter can be. So shush haters.
Looks like a third world country!!! I though we could afford man-made machinery these days. Nice to see were all our tax money is going...I feel bad for the people of Joplin, The American gov has abandoned you once again, more interested in sending relief money to places like Haiti...what a joke
@icollectrecords Go down to Joplin to help. You have no idea how helpful this animal is. I was there all weekend picking up rubble by hand, along with hundreds of other people. Yea, a tractor could do this, but good luck finding one that isn't already preoccupied clearing rubble from another one of the 5000 houses that are destroyed. For every 100 bulldozers needed, there is maybe 1.
Joplin needs all the help it can get to find any bodies that may still be buried under the rubble. Unfortunately, the "animal rights" people care more about animals than human beings.
People still use elephants to move things in countries like India etc. Its not animal abuse they've been doing that for hundreds of years and the elephants dont get hurt
Elephants are about the strongest animal on the planet. No doubt that some are abused in circus' but not more than they are abused hunted and killed in their natural habitat.
This is the kind of "work" that these animals need and love. They are capable of much more, I assure you.
I do not find this "animal abuse" in ANY way.
In fact I hear an outpouring of love and appreciation for this elephant from the people around there, cheering and clapping.
THIS IS TOO JOPLIN. I just spend two days there helping clear tornado debris. If you question the authenticity....check out the story about this elephant on WDAF Fox 4 News
One person says animal abuse and 200 white knights repeat the same insults for pages of comments.
You guys realize at this point they're doing this shit on purpose to piss you off, right? It's the same bullshit on every video. "animal abuse!!" "child abuse!!" "elderly abuse!!" "testicular abuse!!"
And what are those of you screaming "ANIMAL ABUSE!!!1!!122!!@@!1!" doing to help the people of Joplin? Donating money to the recovery efforts? Giving the rescue workers food and shelter? Sending your unused clothes or cell phones to the disaster area? Rolling up your sleeves and helping them clean up?
No?
Of course not...you'd rather sit there with your thumb up your ass, watching YouTube vids of people actually cleaning up the mess, using whatever means they have available.
Unfortunately, it's easier for the haters and whiners to sit in the comfort of their own homes and troll these message boards with their half-assed inflammatory comments to stir the hornets' nest, than it is to actually wipe the Cheetos stains off their greasy fingers, get off their fat asses and get out to help the disaster victims pick up their lives.
@kb7rky My goodness! I don't know if there was abuse. I do know that a lot of elephants are abused in training that is absolutely horrific. I hope this is not the case here. It looks like everyone was trying to help with the spirit of giving. Why do you assume, if folks are concerned about the elephant, that they're not also concerned about the people? I volunteer in animal shelters, yet I also have donated $ and time to help the people of Joplin. ALL God's creatures need care.
@kb7rky No, idiot. Many of us who are against using/abusing Elephants in this way are ALSO donating our money and time to do what we can for the good folks of Joplin.
one of the most devastating natural disasters in fifty years killing hundreds of human beings and the circus brings an elephant around to move some shit around and the first thing that ran across someones mind is animal abuse? seriously? shame on you.
Why isn't the American government helping these people? It is nice to an elephant doing this, but surely several helicopters and 10000 troops would make the jobs easier?
@DeeStiller I was down there, and there are ALOT of troops. Armed National Guardsmen on every street corner, and police from dozens of cities patrolling. Until you walk up and down the streets and see how vast the damage is, you'd understand. It's terrible! I was down there this past weekend and I can certainly say that even if 1,000 bulldozers showed up, I could still find something for that elephant to drag around.
I was there as well and they were VERY careful because stepping on a nail was a huge concern. Mostly, I saw this as an opportunity to cheer everyone up. I saw them move two cars in this area, maybe another, before moving the elephant (maybe to another area, not sure). As for all the abuse calls, they treated the elephant very respectfully and were all around a great group of people.
@sdfgw456456 I was down there this weekend, and yes, I stepped on a nail, it missed my foot though. People were getting hurt left and right from debris. It's just a giant chaotic mess.
Not to inflict yet another disaster on the town but for once, I wish PETA was there. Even the dogs that sifted through the rubble at Ground Zero were given protective footwear.
@vardoegers You do know that elephant skin is half a centimeter thick right? Go try to push a nail through half a centimeter of the toughest leather you can find. The elephants have all the protective footwear they need.
@vardoegers Go eat your veggies. Dogs and elephants are different types of animals. Elephants are tanks compared to most of nature has. Also, this elephant is walking on nice clean ground, not smouldering metal.
@Shin00by 1) They are like tanks, but are not tanks. 2) Walking on "nice clean" ground? Eat some veggies yourself, seems like your brain cells could use the support.
One of the more intelligent comments on this video. Too bad people don't take it the right way and can only come up with the unoriginally stupid "Go eat some veggies".
The company that owns these elephants abuses them, shame on anyone here who approves of this. This circus can't even get a license anymore in its own home town because of cruelty
@isocrate27 You can go watch the video on youtube called "circus elephant abuse" then you can post back after you read all the animal rights violations this company has in google.
@isocrate27 Are you crazy? This elephant is with the Piccadilly Circus from Florida, I guess its acceptable for you to talk out of your ass and use and abuse as long as you get your way. You would never treat a dog like this elephant has been treated, infact if you did you would be put in jail. Do you work for Piccadilly Circus?
@sohcsarewicked Who cares at this point. Are down there helping? Whether this circus abuses these elephants or not, until you go down there and see the mess first hand, you won't understand. It's a damn good idea to have this elephant helping.
good job buddy elephant... :) great video... kudos to you...

I don't believe the ele was used as a primary source of debris removal. Just a simple spirit lifter for the people of Joplin. They were unable to have the circus (which they were going to allow children free admission after the tornado) so they thought they would take the circus to the people. The ele is not in distress and spirits were lifted. Job well done Picadilly Circus!
Unless you live in or around Joplin you cannot imagine how important a simple spirit lifter can be. So shush haters.

@icollectrecords Go down to Joplin to help. You have no idea how helpful this animal is. I was there all weekend picking up rubble by hand, along with hundreds of other people. Yea, a tractor could do this, but good luck finding one that isn't already preoccupied clearing rubble from another one of the 5000 houses that are destroyed. For every 100 bulldozers needed, there is maybe 1.

Joplin needs all the help it can get to find any bodies that may still be buried under the rubble. Unfortunately, the "animal rights" people care more about animals than human beings.

Elephants are about the strongest animal on the planet. No doubt that some are abused in circus' but not more than they are abused hunted and killed in their natural habitat.
This is the kind of "work" that these animals need and love. They are capable of much more, I assure you.
I do not find this "animal abuse" in ANY way.
In fact I hear an outpouring of love and appreciation for this elephant from the people around there, cheering and clapping.
YAY ELEPHANT

Sending your unused clothes or cell phones to the disaster area? Rolling up your sleeves and helping them clean up?
No?
Of course not...you'd rather sit there with your thumb up your ass, watching YouTube vids of people actually cleaning up the mess, using whatever means they have available.

kb7rky 9 months ago
@kb7rky My goodness! I don't know if there was abuse. I do know that a lot of elephants are abused in training that is absolutely horrific. I hope this is not the case here. It looks like everyone was trying to help with the spirit of giving. Why do you assume, if folks are concerned about the elephant, that they're not also concerned about the people? I volunteer in animal shelters, yet I also have donated $ and time to help the people of Joplin. ALL God's creatures need care.

Until you walk up and down the streets and see how vast the damage is, you'd understand. It's terrible! I was down there this past weekend and I can certainly say that even if 1,000 bulldozers showed up, I could still find something for that elephant to drag around.

@vardoegers
I was there as well and they were VERY careful because stepping on a nail was a huge concern. Mostly, I saw this as an opportunity to cheer everyone up. I saw them move two cars in this area, maybe another, before moving the elephant (maybe to another area, not sure). As for all the abuse calls, they treated the elephant very respectfully and were all around a great group of people.

@sdfgw456456 I was down there this weekend, and yes, I stepped on a nail, it missed my foot though. People were getting hurt left and right from debris. It's just a giant chaotic mess.
vincehexum 9 months ago
To all of you idiots saying that this is animal abuse, it's not.
Is the elephant in any physical pain? Clearly not.
Is the elephant "not used to" pulling large objects? Maybe not, but it doesn't mean it isn't capable of doing so.
Have elephants been used to move heavy objects before? Yes.
Cows do it. Bulls do it. Horses do it. Elephants can do it too.
