@rawsalerts Why do they still have elephants in the circus? Horrendous.
Elephant isn't in the circus. It's living large in the wilds of Butte, MO., and was gifted $5,000 USD, food stamps...lots of food stamps, and now resides at the priciest place in town, compliments of taxpaying citizens. Trouble is, govt gave this non-citizen Constitutional Rights & can't find a firearm, with a big enough trigger guard, to shoot us...
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts That’s an interesting question. I’m torn on this. I think it’s great for kids to see elephants. But have concerns about the quality of life. I suspect some are very well treated. Some are not.
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts Think hard. Perhaps you can come up with worse things.
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts I agree. Circus animals are banned in Canada 🇨🇦
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts Sickening that these highly intelligent and magnificent animals are still imprisoned in a performing capacity. Hopefully this incident can lead to a sanctuary offering to adopt this beautiful girl and allow her to be free!
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts CYC there’s nothing to do in wherever the fuck this is
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts I was just going to post this exact response… awful they are still doing this.
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts So outdated, they're closing as we speak but some do still exist. Shameful.
@Dltimber05 @rawsalerts It should be illegal. Period
