My 11 yr old dtr kept looking at the poor elephants and talking about a book she recently read in school about how they train them to lift their front legs off the ground by burning them. She could not stop thinking how sad it was as she watched them. As much as I like seeing them, it is not right and there is soooo much more than u can see of the surface.

This is outdated and primitive and is appalling to most of us. Evolve already and let these elephants enjoy their lives!!
i am so sad that an audience gathered to watch. When when when will all the people get it. I am looking forward to that day when all wild animals are free. Thank you!!

I have supported and participated in the Guilford Fair for many years but have stopped attending. The "carnival" acts that are exploitive to the poor animals is not only abusive but are contrary to the agricultural spirit that the fair and Guilford claim.

This is a barbaric and inhumane custom. Please stop. Animals are not here for us to use and abuse, they serve a purpose that is integral to the planet. Humans don't. We need to get over ourselves.

My family and I saw them yesterday and one elephant was swaying back and forth as if it was about to fall over and it had a white discharge/ discoloration along the rim of its trunk which did not look normal or healthy. There weren't any shackles or chains but their overall health and wellbeing did not appear adequate.

Enough is enough. I will not support the Guilford Fair or any other fair or circus that exploits animals.
