From one concerned Mom to another Mom, you must look at these photos and videos before you take your children to the circus again. What I saw was very upsetting I did not realize that Ringling Bros. actually physically pulls their baby elephants who are still nursing away from their mothers and the cruel training begins. So I contacted Ringling Bros Circus about these photos, they assured me that these babies are being trained using food rewards, patience’s and love. Look for yourself.

Unless you are willing to look into this animal abuse, you will only see the illusions Ringling Bros Circus wants you to see, and they are experts at creating illusions.
Most of us have animals that live with us and that we consider loved family members, so we would never beat them with a fireplace poker or use an electric prod to train them to perform and entertain us, but that is exactly how Ringling Bros. Circus trains their baby elephants. Why would compassionate mothers ever condone this kind of animal abuse just to treat their child to the circus experience?
