A childhood memory ruined

Thanks for nothing, Ringling Brothers.

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.

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.

Oh, Lordy. Why did I have to click this link??? Elephants are beautiful animals. It disgusts me to see this happen to them.

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...........

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

This is a bloody discrace. The day the human race vanishes off this planet all the animals will rejoice.

Now I feel like crap
