Roberts family have owned a lot of elephants since the 1940s. Ask them to account for each one from arrival as babies for training to the present day especially what happened to Maureen who attacked him so badly? Not to mention bears, lions vultures, chimpanzees etc

The poor thing.. and thats when its outside in the 'exercise area' as well... the rest of it's life is spent shackled and lonely in a van travelling up a motorway. What a life. Its disgusting!

You would think people would have better things to do than pay to watch animal cruelty.

@billybob221000 What absolute shit you peddle!

@cookiebitch88 Even with the facts you're still making excuses for twisted psychos. Roberts has always been the 'owner' and if he's not responsible then why is he & his daughter being taken to court for animal abuse? Why'd he buy an elephant from the wild in the first place? Why did he parade her around when she was crippled in pain with severe arthritis? You swore she wasn't mistreated ever, (until you were shown to be a liar) and now you're still 'unfortunately' lying.

@evelynjoyce incase you had not noticed, the comment i made was 7 months ago, the story of anne being mistreated was only released in recent press!! and if you had actually read the story correctly then maybe you would have seen that the current owner was the abuser, the abusers were the animal keepers in which the owner paid to look after anne, unfortunatly this was not the case and anne was being abused behind closed doors!

@ifineversing You sound like a circus insider. I dread to think what happened to all the elephants he owned!!! Animal circuses are nothing short of a national disgrace and embarassment now!!!
