Elephants have been domesticated for years. Some of them have the same dependance on humans as your own pet dog. They are not 'wild animals' in the way that tigers and lions are always wild animals, despite their years in captivity. As long as their care is at the same standard as that given to any animal, and that their conditions are appropriate to their species, I see no problem with them being performing animals. In the same way that a border collie may love doing agility in a ring.

Obviously they should never be beaten though.

quite agree with this.

we have one near us now

I dont agree with circuses but also I dont agree with this sort of protester - in this case there is a really easy way of stopping this in my area and that is to not protest once its there because its then too late but to make a reasoned polite protest to the landowner where this is taking place.

I'm with you Siobhan, it's an outrage, elephants don't belong in the circus! I'm sure Longleat will make her feel right at home.

The circus is opening in my area on the 6th April, they delivered ticket vouchers and free tickets to my friends business yesterday, it's safe to say i won't be attending!

Where do people like thid get off on being like this. Send the little punk back to frigging Romania. Here's to that beautiful elephant living out her years in a lovelt place, Longleat Park, hats off to the people who offered her a forever home.
