Thismomentonward - Boycott the circus. Inhumane to elephants and other animals. They deserve better Marching animals through the streets for 3 miles is brutal and barbaric.////// That's right! In the wild they sit on couches and channel surf and have their food served in silver platters. They never, ever walk anywhere or endure the beating sun or fear predators. They never risk disease or poachers. Curse man for enslaving the elephants and torturing them for our entertainment! They even use elephants as beasts of burden 'over there' in other countries! Curse man for such cruelties! To even think of an animal walking three miles in a controlled fashion garnering loving attention from spectators is disturbing!
