Please, please read this and help save this elephant’s life. I cannot believe that in this day and age humans are still willing to support circuses using animals as entertainment when they are filmed collapsing in the street while being forced onto their trucks. Critically ill animals at 54 years old, forced back onto their feet without treatment.
STOP THIS NOW - it is NOT alright to treat other species like this, species like us that revolve around their families, show emotion and complex memories and live as long as we do. DON’T turn the other way, don’t assume it’s not your responsibility, don’t think one person doesn’t make a difference or that it’s OK to ignore this because there are other things happening in the world. This is just not right.
And if I ever cross paths with anyone from Ringling Bros., rest assured I have a hefty slap in the face reserved just for you. Don’t stand by and allow this bullshit.

(However I’m still heartened to see there are other people out there who infiltrate these companies, highlight the mistreatment and help to stop this - keep up the hard work, and thanks for all you do for animals.)
