No animal welfare group should ever lie. Never. Eventually truth comes out. It makes it bad when there are legitimate claims of cruelty.

No animal should be made to perform for a bunch of clueless humans. Unless we can convince people circuses are not in the best interests of animals, we will never get rid of them. Most people are far too selfish to consider the feelings/interests of animals on any level. Only they have any importance in this world.

The complaint against SAFE, the animal welfare organisation concerned was that they advertised Jumbo's suffering by displaying a elephant leg in chains in a photograph and the dispute against them, was that it wasnt Jumbo's leg in the chain, so therefore it was misleading . Nothing misleading about the way that circus elephants are mistreated and abused.

Thanks Sherri.

The circus is a thing of the past when it come to animals, everyone know that its about humans now. Elephants are very mistreated being in the circus. Just being there is stressful to them. But all animals in the circus are mistreated. No one ask them they rip them away from family and never look back and believe me , they do have family. I bet you that at one time or the other Jumbo leg was in chains. Hopefully he will never have to go back to that life again. I think that what they did was a wonderful thing and hope that they do not get in trouble.

The picture illustrating the article shows the keeper standing with his huge belly next to an obviously unhappy and poorly kept elephant. What the picture doesn't reveal are the cruel training methods and the many hours the ele endures cramped while traveling from one site to the next. Recently, underestimated Bolivia, with plenty good reasons and lots of common sense, banned all public performances of animals. There is nothing misleading about that, ASA.
