Tell Parents About Ringling's Treatment of Baby Elephants
Every year, moms and dads take their kids to Ringling Bros. circus for a little "family fun," but what they don't know is how baby elephants are cruelly tied up and electro-shocked in order to force them to learn how to perform tricks.
Parents never see what goes on behind the scenes at Ringling's breeding center, where frightened and still-nursing baby elephants are captured rodeo-style, tethered neck-to-neck with an "anchor elephant," and dragged away from their mothers. Moms and dads are oblivious to the year-long intense and violent training sessions that last for several hours a day. They never hear the screams and cries or see the futile and frantic struggling as baby elephants are wrestled, stretched out, slammed to the ground, gouged with bullhooks, and shocked with electric prods.
Please share these photos with every parent you know and ask them never to go to a circus that uses animals.
