Now we see the abusive animal circus fraternity hiding behind the sort of rhetoric used by politicians in their staement "It's not our elephant" A tad irrellevant as the animal was in their control preumably with some arrangement with the owner of the hapless elephant! It's about time allanimals were removed from the unsuitable environment of the circus. Even the tiniest Zoo can give an elephant a better environmentfreeo fthe constnat abuse and travellling. Of zoos are not the best places for elephants as there social and range need are usually outside the scope of the average Zoo, however evn a Zoo is better than all that confined abuse and shoving the animals about to do stupid humiliating tricks to me it is a form of ainmal prostitution!
