Same old thing--a community too gutless and greedy to stand up to Ringling Brothers and their abuse of elephants. Anything that makes someone a buck over-rides any ethical or moral concerns. Atlanta should be ashamed of itself. If Ringling Brothers was capable of shame, they would have stopped animal acts long ago.

Signed & Shared! How heart wrenching this is to see this little adorable baby elephant who was taken away from his mother to be put in an arena just so that people can see him do some inane tricks and of course, have to put up with all kinds of cruelty just so he can please people and Ringling Bros. can make millions of their despicable exploitation! Everyone needs to boycott circuses that use animals. It is nothing but a life of suffering for them!

For every action there is a reaction. According to the law of karma, if we cause pain and suffering to other living beings, we must endure pain and suffering in return, both individually and collectively. We reap what we sow, in this life and the next, for nature has her own justice. No one can escape the law of karma

Signed. This is so shameful. Elephants are one of the most sensitive, intuitive, intelligent creatures on this earth. A circus is no place for them or any animal for that matter. Please ban this practice and lets go further to remove them from this lonely, sad life and live out the rest of their days in a sanctuary.

Signed and noted with a heavy heart! First, these majestic giants are taken away from thier families, as babies, then beaten (apperantly this strips them of thier spirit),they are then sold (since to these people, they are a commodity, then they live thier lives in a bloody circus! Continually beat, hurt, and chained up, when not doing stupid tricks to amuse the masses! No wonder elephants go on these rampages....Wouldn't you?????
