ELEPHANTS AND ALL ANIMALS ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND WELL CARED FOR. i HAVE SPONSORED A CIRCUS FOR 16 YEARS-ALWAYS WITH ELEPHANTS AND ANIMAL-THAT IS WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS. i HAVE BEEN AROUND CIRCUSES FOR 50+ YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SAW ANY ABUSE. tHE 16 YEARS WE HAVE SPONSORED A CIRCUS THE ANIMALS WERE INSPECTED BY LOCAL AND STATE AGENCIES-NEVER HAS THERE BEEN A PROBLEM-ON THE CONTARY THESE AGENCIES FOUND THE ANIMALS TO BE WELL CARE3D FOR.

THEY DO NOTHING TO HELP THE ANIMALS WE ALL LOVE. THEY FLEECE MILLIONS FROM WELL BEING CITIZENS WHO GIVE MOPNEY TO SUPPORT THESE TERRIOST GROUPS.
