Cruel and criminal. All the the wild animals (elephants, tigers, camels..) owned by Ringling should be freed from their sometimes decades of abuse and place in sanctuaries.
Elephants can feel a fly land on their skin, so those screams you hear are from the bull hooks sinking into their skin. They may not always cause a bleed but elephants don't scream without a reason. How do people think these magnificent mammals perform tricks? well its not through kindness as its so unnatural for an elephant to stand on its head. So think about it, how do they get the elephants to perform....through fear & violence, that's how, bull hooks hurt an elephant & they know it!!!
@kelvievansjr how do you get a 35,000 animal to go by what you want them to do? you dont, you leave them in africa or wherever they got them from. And then when they attack the trainers, and its caught on camera, the animal is shot and killed, and everyone blames the animal, no matter if its an elephant, lion, tiger, or whatever. This is sick.
We just took our 6 year old to the circus recently. NEVER again! I had no idea.

The police didn't do anything? All they had to do was turn their head and see the blood on the elephant.

Maybe without controll them? Oh, wait! But you must watch a spectacle... this is more important than the elephant integrity.
