Do you agree with removing elephants from Ringling Brothers circus?
I agree with removing them from the circus, because like the guy said, it's no way for an elephant to live. I think that the elephants deserve to be out in the open and be with their families. I think it is considered animal abuse. I don't think that they should be used for entertainment like this. The elephants are smart creatures that deserve more than just performing for people.
But the elephants are the circus' most popular attraction. Taking away the elephants could potentially put the circus in a troubling place financially, and potentially put it out of business with time. These elephants were raised this way in captivity, they know no other life, and life in the wild at this point would be harsh on these animals. They'd still have to live in captivity on farms because they wouldn't know how to survive on their own in the wild, since life in captivity is all they've ever known.
