Don't think for a minute that life for these animals is all love and kindness. That is a bunch of bull. How about the elephant trainer who bit the tip off of the elephants trunk when he was drunk, or the fact that they make elephants lie down to take their beatings. I saw it daily.

It was usually for about a week at a time, and I stayed in a trailer just a few feet from the elephant area. I had an unobstructed view of the elephants literally 24 hours a day.I can assure you that there were no behind-the-scenes beatings such as Tom Rider wants us to believe.

There is a philosophical difference...Dear Elise –<br /> <br />There is a philosophical difference of opinion between animal rights groups and licensed animal exhibitors, like Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. While activists advocate for the separation of humans and animals, no matter how sound the care, we at Ringling Bros. consider all animals to be members of our circus family. <br /> <br />When you visit our show you will Elise Crane Derbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894346208719714549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605268079782107889.post-80437367862857680102009-06-22T20:55:20.999-07:002009-06-22T20:55:20.999-07:00Our family has made the circus it's hobby sinc...Our family has made the circus it's hobby since the 1960's.

I will see if I can get someone at Ringling to comment about your concerns. They did mention in the interview that they follow many regulations regarding the animals. <br />Thanks again for your comment.Elise Crane Derbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894346208719714549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605268079782107889.post-1008932626388472282009-06-17T01:31:52.220-07:002009-06-17T01:31:52.220-07:005 Minutes of Entertainment = Life of Misery

They are shipped from city to city at least 11 months out of every year and are never allowed any freedom to be who they are. All the animals are forced to eat and sleep where they urinate and defecate. In the wild,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
