Beautiful man...Inside and out.

Wilmer, this PSA should be shown on every channel. You're among my heroes who stand up for animal rights and help get the word out that they ARE abused at circuses and it's disgusting to see animals tortured at circuses. All circus workers know the animals are abused but their paycheck depends on staying quiet and continuing the charade.

I know it says wilmer valderrama, but I keep thinking cesar milan

all your "experience" proves is you don't know animals. Vet care, fresh decent food and other essentials are missing from their lives because it's too "expensive" . they'd rather replace an elephant than give it what it needs. disgusting. boycott animal circuses!!!!!!!!!!!

@xeniakennedy dude I know more about and have worked with more animals than you can count. dount prattle and pretend to know me , you don't. I have worked in circus' all my life.

Wilmer and all celebs who are anti torture are awesome. Rock on! X

[xeniakennedy]

@circusboy90210 Wow you really know nothing about animals, looks like you belong in the circus so we can let the animals out. So many people are under the false impression that elephants aren't abused but of course, people believe that Jersey shore and other "reality" programs are actually real. Seriously, why are people this dumb? Why would you believe that elephants enjoy being stabbed with bullhooks and deprived of everything natural and good for them? Elephants belong in sanctuaries.

@xeniakennedy ??? tortued how?? by performing and pleasing their masters as they love to???

I agree, no exotic animals, but some protesters go way to far! horses, dogs, donkeys these animals have been bred for thousands of years to live and work alongside people, you wouldn't tell a shepherd that he was cruel for doing his job! There does need to be tighter control over how animals are treated though, esp outside of UK and US.

[xeniakennedy]

Wilmer is right! Avoid the circus if it contains animals. They HATE being tortured, as you would if you were imprisoned like these awesome animals.
