Elephant abuse under the big top at Ringling Brothers circus

Ringling Bros. Circus is currently being sued by the ASPCA, the Animal Welfare Institue, the Animal Protection Institute, and The Fund for Animals because of their abuse towards their elephants. You will not want to go to Ringling Bros. ever again after seeing this piece.

If they come anywhere near your town, show up and protest. Tell people queuing up to buy tickets of the actual horror that they never see. Tell them to search on youtube for videos like these for the evidence. Print out photos of these poor animals being abused and show them. WE have to stop this, it won't go away on it's own. Let the cruelest show on earth know that they're not welcome in any city!

My goddddddddddddd please tell me the circus has closed down all animal acts. Surely to god they know in their hearts this is TOTALLY BARBARIC AND INHUMANE. Even prisons have rights for prisoners to have proper excersise . This is truly disgraceful and I am shocked at America for allowing this

Roy Wells said 90 % of the time they listen to verbal commands, but if they dont ya just touch them with the bullhook and remind them,,,, Key word is REMIND them !!! Remind them that when they dont listen, the hook that abused them for years is right there in his hand. So basically ,,,YES they trained them by abusing them. Thanks for telling us the truth Roy!

There is no need for these cruel circuses. If I want to see a circus I will go to Cirque Du Soliel, it's not the type of circus most people would think of, but they do not use any animals, and it is extremely entertaining.

That is why elephants and other wildlife shouldnt be kept in circuses

You an idtiot. You must be blind and yet claim you are seeing something, which you clearly have not been watching or done research on this circus's abuse on elephant and tigers and lions.

like reins on a horse or a leash on a dog? carrying a child by the hand? you're fucking kidding me.

last time i held a kid's hand or walked my dog with a leash. it didn't bleed.

We are in 2010...why do we still have circuses? These poor animals are treated so poorly and forced to perform night after night. Animals do not belong in the circus for our entertainment...step right up to the cruelest show on earth!
