I feel the same way, the cruelty involved in training an Elephant to prance around a ring and stand up on it's hind legs is horrendous. It's not like Elephants are a curiosity from the heart of the dark continent which nobody has ever seen. We seen them in a host of fascinating wildlife documentaries, or Zoos which IMO are fine.

I would not attend or bring a child to a circus that involves animal acts, you might as well allow Bear baiting, dog fighting or cat burning.

I always hated circuses as a kid I even felt uncomfortable watching the animals being paraded around. Definitely won't be bringing my son to one either. I used to hate going to the zoo too but it has improved so much over the years, the animals aren't stuck in cages anymore.

I was interested in the plight of the elephant until rte interviewed the lady from Costa. After that I just wanted to drop down and buy coffee.

It's always interesting to see the priorities people have.

Anywho no need for an animal in a circus anymore. Should be scrapped.

The video was just on ABC news Australia
