There is no time at ... ( 2 months ago by circusboy90210)

There is no time at anytime that they would be standing for 12 hours in a row even for sleeping they are washed regurlary, clean hay every few hours or when needed, long walkd & swims when possible. Also on train runs the trani stops every 4 hours for water breaks for all animals. you should not comment about things that you don't know 1110% about whaqt your talking about. It takes away from your perceive integrity.

ooh forgot to tell you water stops on train ever 4 hours. washing & swimming when possible occur regularly. standing on cardboard is better on your back & knees than concrete. but whenever possible grass is there for them. when you make conjecture about subjects that your not 110% sure of you show you lack integrity.

GREAT answer! I wish I had thought of it!

That's my point: I HAVE worked with them too. I volunteered to help at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. I'm not just saying all this from theories. (correct spelling). I've fed and bathed them myself, and know a happy elephant from a depressed one, which is what the circus elephants all look like. So why are you so gung-ho to defend circuses anyway, Mr. Expert? Everyone on this page is against using fellow animals for cheap, stupid entertainment except you-who's the ignorant one here?

thanks for the spelling lesson. What park did you work @ in thailand? I know happy from sad Elephants & these videos are almost all reruns that have been used for years & years. These shots are the eception to the rule. why am I so gung ho? because your are trying to subvert what is right & the democratic process with a well organized minority. you have now destroyed your arguement & integrity by name calling. I'm far from ignorant when it come to this. This is not a forum for insulting. ;((((

I would be the first on a show to beat somebody to a bloody pulp if I ever saw them truly being cruel. The ankus when used properly does not punture the skin. It's way touhger & thincker than ours. Have you ever even felt Elephant hair? It's as tough as piano wire. I stand up for what's right not extremeist viewpoints who have no knowledge except for the ones given to them by their higher ups.this has nothing to do with the fur industry don't cloud the waters with mixing the issues here.

Elephants have ... ( 2 months ago by journeyman47)

Elephants have tough skin...in MOST places. Unfortunately the handlers know where their skin is thin & sensitive: parts of the ears, around the mouth, and the anus, where the mucous membrane is very sensitive. That's where the ankuses are often used. I've seen it on videos....

So what if Cirque ... ( 2 months ago by journeyman47)

So what if Cirque du Soleil doesn't have a history of "family members"? It's a great show and a fine substitution for circuses with animals-- which are outdated and whose time has come. You said it yourself: "They are built on the backs of horses"... sounds pretty cruel to me.
And I've been to Singapore; it's a very modern, clean, thriving city. Even if it wasn't, so what? The fact that they banned circuses with animals is fantastic! I say, good for them!

IF you read my ... ( 2 months ago by journeyman47)

IF you read my reply, it says The "Elephant Nature Park". And what do you mean, 'subvert the democratic process'? I'm just voicing my opinion, as the Constitution gives me the right to, as it does you.
As for name-calling, I hardly think calling you "Mr. Expert" is a very bad insult. You're the one who accuses everyone you write to that they're ignorant just because they didn't work in a circus,not that that's necessary to know cruelty when you see it.
Your arguments are weak at best.

your wrong! i just went to thailand to become a mahout (elephant trainer) and thats where they kick them all the time to make them move... they are so much worse in the wild than in the circus. the thai people are the people you should be protesting. ringling bros. is like heaven to these elephants

I've been to ... ( 1 month ago by journeyman47)

I've been to Thailand too, buddy, and I know it's bad there too. I DO protest them, and Ringling, and all places that abuse the wonderful, amazing beings that elephants are. And I doubt that being shut into dark, crappy cages most of their lives only to be let out once in a while and forced to perform silly tricks for stupid people could be called "heaven" in any sense. It might be a little better than some Thai shithole but still cruel in my book.

circusboy90210, you ... ( 1 month ago by TheOrbettes)

circusboy90210, you are obviously a MORON--- Elephants are not PETS. We capture them or breed them and force them to submit to our will. The circus is NOT saving species that we would never otherwise see, you dumbass. We can preserve their wild habitats and watch them on the Discovery Channel, in their natural habitat. Circus animals are not real animals anymore since they've been made into clowns for human entertainment.

Maybe you are jaded ... ( 1 month ago by TheOrbettes)

Maybe you are jaded because of this belief. If there really was a god...can you honestly say that you know this is true? This is happening because people have free will to do good or wrong, and it is part of your jaded responsibility to counter the wrong with the good that you do, instead of blaming a non-existent god on not making everything rainbows and cupcakes. Make your own damn cupcakes and thank 'god' for tastebuds.

You sound like you have an interesting life....do you know of any training videos that aren't put out by PETA? I would like to see them. Also, is your circus coming near Savannah GA any time soon? I have a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old here that would love to see it!

Its sad to see an animal such as an elephant performing tricks for the amusement of others. These animals deserve better treatment.

#1 Elephants really don't forget. Every Elephant Uve ever met remembers me. #2 They are very intelligent, & have very much capacity for independant thought. If you knew anything about animal behaviour you would know this.

Elephnts in Ringlig are all captive breed. It's sad to see so many people trying to look smart about things that they have not the foggiest of what they are talking about.They are the individual pets of the people who own them. They are not corporate property's.
