A childhood memory ruined
 

Thanks for nothing, Ringling Brothers. :down: :down: :down:

I like animals, I find certain ones very tasty and by personal prejuidice think others are cool while I dislike others (like pigeons and flies but that's neither here nor there). I support animal testing for medicine if necessary.

However I think it's time to leave animal acts like these behind us. :down:

Must be a Peta, I mean animal cracker ad.

This is not a surprise. I thought everyone knew that a standing joke in circus circles is: How do you get an elephant to stand on one leg? Easy, just beat the other three.

:D Chock

Yeah... :down: :down: :down:

Obviously this is horredous. I was wondering though if there is humane types of training of elephants or if this is normal.I would like to believe that some people use kindness to train, and not act like this jerk...........:rock:

Elephants are like me in that they could seriously hurt someone, but they never want to.

I would like to see humans abusing perceived weaker beings - being made object to the same procedures they had implied on them before.

Being a life member of PETA (People Eating Tastey Animals) ..............

Seriously though, I don't like this type of stuff. I don't like seeing animals being intentionally abused like that.

It is like the Michael Vick thing with his dogs. You don't mistreat animals. Whoopie Goldberg can sit there and make all the cultural references and excuses for that type of behavior when in a normal circumstance her liberal thinking would have wanted the death penalty for the guy abusing his pets. Beating, strangling, electrocuting, and drowning dogs is not correct in any culture. I don't believe in multiculturalism, sometimes your culture is just plain wrong.

Hillbilly *******s...I only hope this video has led to the prosecution of these people.

Hopefuly this kind of thing will go the same way as danceing bears.

Now whenever a elelphant escapes and goes on the rampage trampling over humans, i'll know why they do it.
