Loomis Circus with Brian Franzen. Elephant forced to balance on a ball.

You may have fun seeing the elephants performed. And you laugh. People don't even have a single clue what goes behind the scenes.

Young elephants just borned are immediately taken away from their mother, using chains to confine them into a dirty small pathetic corner, always beaten with solid stick when they did not do anything wrong, using strings to tie their leg and stretch it with all their might.

Humans reap ALL the benefits. Elephants sow and suffer. What is this world coming to???

I just love Elephants so much.Please stop abusing the animals. Especially the Elephants.

@MattOaba Help prove to the audiences of these traveling shows, that the animals are trained without abuse... There is a reason so little training is actually filmed. There is a reason animal acts and handlers ask not to be recorded. Silence those who accuse the circus with evidence rather than arguments.

[nastyabby]

Abuse and brain washing at a young age... I think the USDA should require filming of ALL training sessions for any performing animal.

[MattOaba]

@nastyabby How can somebody that draws pictures for a living speek about animals. You have no clue about exotic animals, or how these hard working folks take care of them.

I stand on a balance ball all the time and teach humans to do it . Eleplants are wonderful creatures

Poor elephant, forced to do all these things!

[truthhopelove]

You should post more videos about poor abused circus clowns and acrobats. These elephants loved their trainer Wayne Franzen, as much as he loved them.
