Poor Things

I am and always have been very fond of elephants. I think they're beautiful creatures that are highly intelligent. And of course, they are matriarchal. They live in groups of women while the males usually live a solitary life. I could go on and on about them. They're just amazing.

Now, I am not a big fan of PETA, although I LOVE all animals and would never do anything to hurt any of them. I feel as though their protests are "over the top." But again, this is just my opinion.

I recently watched this. I have never been so angry as I had viewing this video footage. I used to love going to circuses as a child, but now, I feel as though I will never be able to go to a circus again. The treatment of these elephants, along with the other circus animals is deplorable! You can also check out this website. It gives ways to help or petition against this unspeakable cruelty.
