The shocking case of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus! It is horrifying to see how the trainers chain their trunks, all four legs and body and use sharp hooks to hit, poke and jabb the baby elephants until bloody under the pretext of training them!!!. See for yourself here : http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/default.asp
Animal Defenders International has released disturbing video documenting abusive treatment of elephants at Have Trunk Will Travel – the “rent-an-elephant” company based in Perris, CA. theatres. The ADI video clearly shows trainers hitting and shocking the elephants during training. See for yourself here :

This cruelty to innocent animals must stop. Its sad to see how these muted animals are subjected to this horrifying ordeal, all for just making a few bucks.
Just as His Holiness The Dalai Lama once said "Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures" So please help stop this inhuman atrocity by signing this petition.
Where there is Love there is Life! Mahatma Gandhi.
Lets all come together and raise one unified voice until the circus and city of Delmar release these long tortured, harmless, muted animals into a compassionate and kind environment and help them recover. Circuses can make a living without confining, torturing and using any animals. Cities can generate income with out doing the same.
Ground breaking law on animal circuses unveiled on Nov 2nd 2011: Renowned celebrity animal protectionist Bob Barker (philanthropist and TV host of The Price Is Right), Jorja Fox (CSI actress), and Congressman Jim Moran with Animal Defenders International and the Performing Animal Welfare Society at Congress for the launch of a ground-breaking initiative that could spell the end to the use of wild animals in circuses. We guarantee that this will not be something that anyone who cares about animals, especially those suffering in circuses, will want to miss.
