Ellie the Elephant Makes School Cool

PETA’s Ellie the Elephant can melt hearts of all ages. Need proof? Yesterday, during Ellie’s tour around the country to educate people about Ringling’s abuse of baby elephants, the kids in Nashville, Tennessee, rushed to hug Ellie when she visited their elementary school. When one student asked Ellie why she was wearing a bandage, Ellie pointed to her “Circuses Are No Fun for Animals” sign, and the boy said, “I’m sorry that they did that to you.”

Even adult onlookers couldn’t resist waving at Ellie.

Ellie handed out comics educating the children and their parents about Ringling’s rampant abuse and exploitation of animals. Our recent exposé reveals how Ringling trainers tear baby elephants away from their devastated mothers and use electric shock prods to force the animals into performing humiliating and unnatural tricks. Help save baby elephants by urging the USDA to revoke Ringling’s license and sharing this information with everyone you know.
