 I hate circuses

3:35 this guy is talking out of his ass! Those hooks are messed up...

disgusting >

i think that that is a more realistic approach to this problem but I still feel (in a perfect world unfourtunatley) that wild animals shouldnt be in circuses at all to begin with put them in a sanctuary or WHERE THEY BELONG!!!! but ofcourse this will probably never happen becasue aslong as something is entertaining to watch the money will pour in.

Money is the root of all evil. this makes my stomach turn.

i hate how they do this 2 animals its so sad!!!

Hey, the only reason they "look after the elephants 24 hrs a day" is so that they can make money out of them. The elephants are in a poor state of welfare becasue they cannot carry out any of their repitoir of activities in that kind of confinement. Elephants have minds, they are sentient and self aware in a similar way to us, all though that is difficult to prove, there is mounting evidence to say its true. Treatment of animals with this amount of capabillity to suffer is sickening.

secretly filmed videos prove otherwise, there's no arguing it...

Wow. You are the biggest sucker I've ever heard. Do some research. Listen for the outcome of the ASPCA's court case with Ringling's parent company, Feld Entertainment.

And don't be such a tool.

Here is an even better way to make sure nothing wrong occurs, leave them in their natural habitat. How is this any different from human trafficing? These aren't seals or horses. These are massive animals that were not meant to be stuffed into rail cars or trailers for days on end. Seeing stuff like this takes all the fun out of my childhood expierence of the circus.

My kids will never attend a circus while I am alive.
