  • Boycott all circuses! They're a cruel, inhumane and anachronic business.

  • If more people were as willing as Mr. Haddock to speak out against their mistakes and uncover lies that were told to cover up abuse, Ringling would have been shut down years ago.

    Thank you Mr. Haddock. Your willingness to take a stand means everything to these animals.

  • No mas esclavos kon kadenas y malos tratos.Esto es una humillacion.Nadie tiene ke atar enkadenar a nadie.

  • Daarom is het helemaal NIET leuk om dieren in een circus te hebben!!!

  • how would these people like it if they were tortured??????.....

    its sick, how can u hurt such innocent animals.

  • the ropes are even padded - !

    I am sure u think they should be in the wild - yet they r getting killed ( CULLED ) by the thousands even today - ! EWHY NOT PROTEST ABOUT THAT - ?

    DO U THINK U CAN TRAIN A 10 TON adult

  • I just want to ask - HOW THE hell do u folks think elephants would be trained ? LOOKED like they took care - using the ropes - ( Proof is in the padding ) -

    I just dont get it - WOULD you rather a a hands off elephant - that is locked up in a cage - unable to care for it - unless you sedate them ? COME ON - I have seen worse when we break horses - !!

    ON top of it - if this GUY thought it was so abusive - WHY DID HE WORK FOR THEM ALL HIS LIFE - ? and after he is DEAD- this is released - ! PLS
