Ringling Brothers Circus - Cruelty to Elephants - Sept 1, 2014

Filmed inside the Cow Palace, Monday September 1, 2014 - Ringling Brothers Blue Unit. Ringling Brothers Circus has been caught on video numerous times beating their elephants. They testified in court, that they beat the elephants. These "tricks" are unnatural and painful for elephants to perform. An elephant would never do a handstand in the wild. Its 2014 and we still have animals in severe confinement/captivity, doing ridiculous tricks as entertainment?
