Circus Elephant Suffering with the Great British Circus

In May 2009, ADI exposed the shocking abuse inflicted on the three elephants that were touring with the Great British Circus. Animals were hit in the face by both their trainer and keeper with a metal elephant hook, a broom and a pitchfork; they were kept chained and barely able to move for up to 11 hours a day; and they displayed disturbed, abnormal behaviour. As a result of our investigation the elephants were sent packing after just one season and a public consultation was held with a resounding 94.5% supporting a ban on wild animal acts and the then Labour Government promising a ban.

Cheers, its a shame ,maybe one day. x

supertubes, no not yet, Defra hasn't got the balls to put a ban into action, always skirting round the issue saying there will be regulations and licensing!!! What good is that, the animals are still performing and still being abused every bloody day.

I hope those elephants go on a rampage and kill the trainers, but unfortunately, that only means some cops will kill the elephants very slowly with a hundred bullets.

this has nothing to do with what we eat. Killing animals for food is a good use of them. It's not cruel unlike this trash.

[superstubes]

isn't it illegal in the UK for animals in circus's?

[superstubes]

HANG THOSE BASTARDS!!

I wish I could get a hold of these f**kers, this is just wrong, give them a bit of their own medicine. If they die so what!!

[Mercyful slave]

These are the type of people that deserve to be tied up and thrown into very tiny cages.

there is nothing great about the great british circus. NOTHING. Ugly, horrible abuse and violence is disgusting and I will never support this or any other circus that uses and exploits elephants. I hope all animal circuses go bankrupt.
