Ringling Brothers caught abusing elephants

The Ringling brothers circus, currently facing federal charges for animal abuse of their elephants, may yet again be sent to court.The circus plead not guilty in the on going case claiming they treat their animals humanely, but thanks to a behind the scenes video by an undercover PETA agent there is now proof that circus trainers at the Ringling Brothers circus whip and beat their elephants for no reason. Several of the elephants show repeated behaviors that indicate depression and fear. With the current case coming to an end it is probable that the circus will see trial again. You can also help push the matter by sending a letter to Thomas J. Vilsack.
