In His Own Words: A Ringling Elephant Trainer Tells All
A Ringling Bros. whistleblower reveals that trainers cruelly wrestle baby elephants using ropes, sharp hooks, and electric shocks in order to force them to learn circus tricks.
“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
