great!!!

Im sure she would want to be in a safe place where they can eat and drink, and have boy elephants. No one can truly answer that question for the animals.

[JessieVandie]

Well, there are multiple law suits from several organizations including the ASPCA for Ringling's abuse of endangered species. Their so-called "conservation" program involves hundreds of violations. This is because they don't care about conservation, they care about entertaining and making money.

Next time you work the circus, look into the eyes in the swaying head of an elephant and ask yourself, does he want to be here?

[howyou2]

Okay, now your saying the fact that they are "conserving" is crap too? I dont care when they started doing it, It's the fact that are doing it that counts. I can clearly see that in some areas they are crap as far taking care of the animals go, I dont recall denying that, But from what I know, it is not as bad as what peta puts out there...

[JessieVandie]

About the people seeing them in person, those who live in areas where elephants are native species may NEVER see one in their lifetime, yet you think we should get to see them whenever we want? It's plain wrong and illogical to think that is ok.

As for the trucks, getting the 500 lbs of fresh and diverse foliage PER day PER elephant to the elephants would be a bit impossible don't you think? I've only seen them getting straw. But even if you are right, they still aren't getting what they need.

[JessieVandie]

Ringling uses conservation as a facade to make profits. Notice how that stuff only came out when they started losing ticket sales. Also, what is a better fate? A lifetime of imprisonment and often being neglected to death or a lifetime of freedom that may end in being poached (which IS ILLEGAL in most areas)? I'll take the latter any day.

It's not about differing opinions on animal cruelty. It's about simple science and the natural needs of these animals. Ringling violates these in every way.

[howyou2]

or the show is about to begin and they have no time to give them a nice full meal. but then again a picture of a chained elephant and things said on some radical protesting group is real and everything I say is crap because your and my views on animal creulty are a bit different right?

[howyou2]

Okay. Well Id rather elephants be in the circus than out in africa being hunted by poachers... you forget that its shows and things like these that bring awareness to poachers and hunting. They also give people a chance to see them in person.

Also Ive personally seen the feeding schedule for the elephants and they deliver fresh foilage for the animals to feast upon in a truck. it comes twice daily. Ive seen the truck with my own two eyes, the straw is merely a snack or if the truck is late

[JessieVandie]

Can you vouch for the fact that they spend their days chained to the ground eating straw when they should be walking in the wilderness eating fresh foliage? Can you vouch for the fact that they spend time on asphalt and in train cars when they are wild animals that should never have to live that way? Just because they don't beat them right in front of you, doesn't mean anything else you see is right.

In fact, just paste this watch?v=hs09tHhGeDc
