Ringling Bros Revealed: The Greatest Show On Earth

[smashleysssnkake]

@retownsend you can train animals w love and care. Not strip elephants from their mothers at age 2 when they're supposed to be w them for about 15 years. They beat them w bullhooks and train them out of fear.

[The3rdPersonViewer]

Don't you people be surprised when you have to evacuate the tent because an animal get "out of control" To be honest I hope one of the animals fights back. Sick bastards think they can do whatever they want to those poor animals.

[retownsend]

what is this crap about unnatural tricks? is it natural to teach a dog to roll over or play dead? is it natural to sit on the back of a horse and use reins to steer it in a certain direction? i don't see how either of these is different than a trainer telling an elephant to walk around an arena, spin around in a circle, sit on a stool or put its legs on another elephant's back- and that's all the elephants do

ringling breeds their elephants- horses were wild animals before we domesticated them

[jlopez412]

People, people, you all have to understand this, though. I don't support the abuse they put these animals through, either. But the ringling brothers circus has been around since 1907, and is probably one of the best known circuses out there. Sadly, there's not much we can do. And you have to think about it, not all the trainers there abuse those animals.

[dandyboy3]

can you still purchase the video?



[ecipek]

Blah, blah, lodu noisy music, glitter, cheap tricks and what's behind thew the scene: greed for money and "fame" and the saddest thing: exploited fearful animal slaves that don't get to live their own lives in peace.You want some "excitment" ? Put your finger into the electric output and see what it's like for the animals.

[retownsend]

@ecipek every business is greedy for money... that's why businesses exist

[MADDOG6400]

Even as a child, I was SADDENED for the animals and all the humiliating tricks they had to perform. I was 5 (and back in 1996) when I saw my first (and last) circus. They were going to perform a trick with a tiger, but the tiger was FREAKING OUT! Like, having a panic attack freaking out. They just set that guy backstage and even as a kid, I wondered if he was being beaten for performing poorly.

I told my dad, "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Why are people so stupid? Those animals are being hurt!

[AccountSpawnedinHell]

It has been proven that Ringling Bros beats their animals. electric prods and bullhooks are used to make elephants learn stupid tricks, shock collars are used on tigers. Prison inmates doing life in jail have a better life than Ringling's animals-"THE CRUELEST SHOW ON EARTH!"

[HellFieker]

GREAT VIDEO?

I'm no PETA fanatic,

but anyone who justifies these sideshow freaks and mind reading barbarians by attending their shows and empowering them to continue thanks to your ticket.

Maybe you'd think differently if they used a blowtorch on your children.

Fucking twats. I hope you all fucking burn,

if i didn't have a future infront of me i'd use my life to happily burn it all to the ground. Fuck the fuckers and ignorant parents.

[theFaded01]

If u dont like it.....dont watch 

[splsafari82]

Oh these animals arent beatin you peta huggers

[HoshiHikari]

My favorite parts of the circus were always the trapeze artists. I like the clowns and miscellaneous talented people too but the animals never really caught my attention. I thought that they must miss Africa and looked bored or something and I was more interested in the human performers because I wanted to do fun tricks like them. I'm 17 and can barely do a handstand or juggle. Haha. Is there still a chance to learn? ^_^

[LimeGreenWolf]

hahahah!!! if only those cute little faces could see what goes on when the training is going on

[circusm139]

@LimeGreenWolf How do you guys know that they beat their animals or not? You guys have no evidence at all, and don't talk to me about that PETA crap because it doesn't convince me. Go backstage in person and see what you see. Don't judge off of crap you see on the internet or what people write, because most of it is fake and not accurate...

[LimeGreenWolf]

@circusm139 Well I just happened to write a paper on animal abuse in the circus for one of my college classes, therefore I had to do research. PETA or no PETA there is video footage out there, I just think people are in denial honestly. How could you watch something like that and still be like "oh, but that doesn't count!" or "that doesn't proove anything!" ??? I'm not asking to attack you but I'm just curious. Have you been backstage at a Ringling Bros. show when they're training the elephants?

[circusm139]

@LimeGreenWolf No I haven't. Thats why me or you or anybody else can't be so sure. I was just saying none of us could be sure if we haven't seen it in person. For example the video, that could be fake (don't know how) but it just could ;S

[LimeGreenWolf]

@circusm139 People like yourself always say that. "that could be fake (don't know how) but it just could" You can tell when something is fake and not. Why out of all the things someone could make, why would they choose to make a fake video of elephants being beaten, whipped, shocked? Seems stupid. Even if some videos were to be fake, not all of them can be. I suggest you stop putting other people's opinions down 'cuz you couldn't imagine animals being beaten, just because you love the circus.

[circusm139]

@LimeGreenWolf Exactly! You said "Opinions" They are not facts. Every heard of anyone say "Know the facts before stating something" Know the facts. And yes, I could imagine animals being beaten. I have no idea why "you people" protest. I really don't think it'll make a difference. All this time you guys have been protesting and nothing has happend. People has still go to their shows and no time soon Ringling will go out of business. Honestly I think there is nothing you guys can do :P

[LimeGreenWolf]

@circusm139 Wow you actually sound like you rather let the show go on. You don't give a shit what happens to the animals. So I'm not gonna waste my time sharing my thoughts with you.

[circusm139]

@LimeGreenWolf Yes, it'll be nice without the animals, but the only reason they are keeping the animals is because Kenneth Field says he wants to keep the elements of the traditional circus. And yep I do care about the animals, but if they are not beating them and they enjoy performing then I guess its fine. But if they really are beating them, then they should take them out. I really don't know whats the truth as of now :P

[circusm139]

@LimeGreenWolf And btw I don't really go to Ringling anymore. I go to Cirque, so I don't love the circus or "that much" how you stated it ;P

[circusm139]

@LimeGreenWolf And yet we all know these animals won't take that crap the trainers do to them. Especially the tigers. Those tigers could kill their trainers if they so called "beat them" Ever though of that?

[millypat]

@circusm139 There is so much abuse that their spirits are broken. When that happens the animal is so fearful of the trainer that performs the tricks not to be punished. Please educate yourself on the subject and get the facts straight.

[putaface101]

disgusting fucking show. retarded parents taking there basterd kids to see abuse. the dvd wont show how they really train them. doenst show how unhappy they are. mayor gets paid a shit load of money to walk. there animals will be taken away. a legal legit case is being processed right now. fuck you ringling brothers. fuck ur false advertising.

[asskickerjen08]

CRUELTY

[crudnup]

FUCK YOU, they whip the elephants with rods, they sink hooks into there ears and pull then along, they whip the tigers and abuse every animal just so they can perform for you. fucking shits.

[SallyPie08]

Greatest Show on earth, have you seen what they do to the animals? Sick twisted fuckers... About time something was done about it...

[ecsteer1]

beaten or not the shows themselves are bad enough. It is so embarrassing seeing these beautiful animas doing humiliating tricks how is this entertainment? Is anybody stupid enough to pay to see these shows and watch the whole thing without realizing how unnatural and sickening it is? i really don't understand why we can't just leave the tricks to humans and leave animals in peace to do what they want which i'm guessing isn't wedging themselves into tiny cars and spinning round on their heads.

[ronaldbuffalo2]

@ecsteer1

yeah i think they forgot the part where they beat their animals to get them to do abnormal tricks...people pay for this.... sickening!

[MADDOG6400]

@ecsteer1 I was 5 when I saw my first (and last) circus, and even as a child, I was in shock. I was disappointed seeing these animals do such acts. The only animals I wanted to see to do such tricks were the cartoon animals I watched on Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network. Just seeing the animals do them in real life was just a joke!

[txteabagger]

they beat the shit out o there elephants and they are also forced in confinement for hours upon hours driving them mad.they would not do trick if they werent intimmidated and forced to do do.

[AlvinAndHobbes]

Too bad the elephants were beaten and whipped in order to do these pointless tricks. Look up "Ringling Beats Animals", you will be shocked.

[monstere1]

@AlvinAndHobbes Agreed.

[RaveGogglez]

Poor elephants...

[aldotriponi]

I used to go every year until I found out that the abuse their animals. I don't know how anyone can support them. It's horrific!

[CruelRinglingBros]

THE CRUELEST SHOW ON EARTH!

[caitlinjane92]

I LOVE Bello! He's so funny and adorable. He's like a little kid in an adult body. :D

[ilovesal1223]

i went 2 dat like 4 times already! it was GREAT this year

[TheJediCharles]

Man, I love it!!! Seven generations in the circus!?!?!

What a legacy! What an honorable line of work. Bello is the greatest!

[rainempress2006]

That's different though, the animals in dog shows are not physically forced using weapons!

[xavier21magic]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! I love animals and I am a vegetarian. I also use animals in my act so that people rememebner that animals are much smarter than they are given credit for. Animals are just like little kids, if we beat or abuse them, they will turn on us and misbehave. If we love them and treat them with respect they will go to no ends to please us. To be honest, the only reason the animals perform the way they do is because they love their handlers.

[ih8myusername94]

@peepchick101 I checked your channel. What your doing is just fine to me. That bull abuse looks like something that needs to be taken seriously, and elephants that are not feeling any pain and who perform at a circus shouldn't be looked at as a bad thing.

[ih8myusername94]

@peepchick101 I was mostly referring to the countless teenagers thinking everything is abuse with comments such as "I wanna shoot that guy in his face!" or something of that sort. In reality, I do not think this is severe abuse at all, there is definantly more out there in the world that needs to be addressed, so targeting a circus is BS. The animals get fed, and live to entertain. I don't see anything wrong. I've seen the video. He was keeping them in order, looked to me like it didn'thurt them

[caitlinjane92]

@ih8myusername94 People who make those kinds of accusations are just jealous that Ringling Bros. is the greatest circus in the world, and we don't have to worry about the kind of BS that comes out of their fat mouths.

[ih8myusername94]

@caitlinjane92 true that buddy, I thought it was gonna be another hate response :)

[cesarjimenezanimator]

@caitlinjane92 What's BS stand for? I heard it before but I don't know what it means.

[wildlifecircusfan]

love bello nock...great entertainer....the greatest show on earth

[chazmagic1]

ah...you guys are taking things too seriously...I grew up in a youth circus, and then traveled recently with another circus....I have never seen them mistreat their animals. There were many many many people who asked if we had elephants and when we said no....they didn't want to pay to see the show!

[CruelRinglingBros]

@chazmagic1 BULLSHIT!

[jsp715]

i love to see the animals at the circus, at any expense =)

[FreeFallin1976]
