The following link shows disturbing photos of baby elephants being trained for the circus. The photos were supplied by a former elephant trainer to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) before he died.
A couple of years ago I was in a shop in Westport when I saw two elephants passing by on the street outside, a publicity stunt to advertise the circus was in town. Although it was amazing to see these huge animals so close up, I felt sadness also, they were far from their home and natural environment. Elephants don't belong in the concrete jungle, they don't belong in the circus.
Please distribute these photos far and wide, particularly to parents with young children. If we stop going to the circus where animals are used to entertain, baby elephants won't have to go through this anymore for our entertainment and enjoyment.
