BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT... And let the circuses KNOW that you and your family and friends will never attend them until they remove animal acts from their show.

[maryam zahedi]

[K Martin]

this is just unbelievable. poor animals. jesus christ, where is our government???? these are live, breathing beings. They have faces and mothers. what is wrong with people? perhaps every time things liek this are exposed, these abusers should have the same damned treatment done unto them...now who's going to suffer?????? SO disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bastards at Ringling should be brought to trial for abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lucy Dewart]

this is horrible! what makes those idiots think what they're doing is okay?!?!

[TL MArtin]

I would like to see these idiots stand up to bull sticks. Or I would like to train the trainers and I would do an oustanding job. First I would train each one of the persons children in the same way they train these sweet elephants. I sure would make these people watch as I did the nice training like they do. Humans are sick people now and they should be shone what it is to hurt and be tortured. The World is the Animal Kingdoms World too.

Animal Abuse...Mans entertainment when he is not abusing other earthly things.

WHY OH WHY CAN'T THIS BE STOPPED, WHERE IS THE RSPCA. HOW PEOPLE CAN GO TO A CIRCUS KNOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THESE BEAUTIFUL ELEPHANTS, GOD ONLY KNOWS.

I WOULD NEVER GO TO A CIRCUS, THESE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE CIRCUS ARE THE'PITS OF THE WORLD' STOP IT NOW.!

[Sylvia Kreye]

It's time to stand up for all those elephants abused in circuses and to boycott violence against all animals in circuses! Of course, those tricks shown in circuses, do not at all correspond to the elephants' natural needs and therefore, elephants and other wild animals should not perform in circuses!

However, allow me another question: why have violent training methods become usual in circuses? - As in case of horses, it should be possible using non-violent training methods also for elephants!

[John Henry]

Why do circuses need animals anyway? They have acrobats, clowns, tightrope walkers and other acts. Also,I'm sure tigers are going through the same abuse. Stop this now!

[destiny smith]

This is cruel! I love elephants I just found out about that when I went there. I am never going to that circus ever again!!
