Captured behind the scenes at a performance by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, handlers strike, poke, jab, and yank at elephants with bullhooks. In February and March 2009, Ringling's owner was on trial for mistreatment with chains and bullhooks of endangered Asian elephants. Video courtesy of PETA.

  • I feel so bad for them!!! they werent even doin anything and they would punish them...horrible...the exact reason why i have never been to a circus.. never will!!! poor things... );

  • That is very sad and heart breaking to watch there has to be a way to stop this for good it's very very sad

  • This video deserves more views. Whose with me?

  • im not going to the damn circus again. They torture animals. I recommend you guys don't go there anymore. BTW the food and drinks there are fuckin expensive screw that place

  • This made me so pissed, I'm gonna buy a new keyboard tomorrow. If you're wondering how I'm typing, I'm using a "keyboard" program provided by Microsoft.

  • Their is one country that has banned live animals in circuses, side shows etc. No live animals of any breed. That needs to happen in every country. I have never been to the circus and will never go. I would love to go their with a tazer. I would tazer all those trainers. If I couldn't get close enough I would use blow darts. Whenever an elephants rebels and tries to run it gets shot down. I don't care if its PETA, ALF, they are showing what really happens. People need to demand it be stopped.

  • One word my friends....karma. Someday that bulky white guy is gonna get his...

  • if only these animals knew their own strength.... i wish the elephants would stomp their asses and then the tigers eat them

  • this makes me laugh....BEAT em!!!!

  • @cassieaileenkimberly Despite their skin being physically thick, its also very sentitive. Elephants will take dust baths to keep insects away. Imagine how bad a pointed hook would feel.....
