If you watch the videos about how baby elephants are torture trained, you can only applaud these gentle majestic creatures. when they exhibit this behavior. They say an elephant never forgets. I pray daily that all elephants are banned from circuses and set free in sanctuaries.
I want to see this is my life time. AND….. Thailand does much worse life threatening torture to their elephants. Many die in the process. I nearly lost my lunch when I saw that video.
This has got to stop.

There needs to a ban on wild animals in all circuses. This has to be the goal for good. The public needs to be more aware how these animals suffer. There should me more abuse made public in the media.

Dumbo did nothing wrong–you don’t bring a wolf in and treat it like a dachsund, you don’t invite a tiger into your home and expect it to act like Fluffy, the kitten that you found at the pound.
Elephants are proud, powerful social beasts who, for the entertainment of humans in droves, are removed from all that is natural for them and beaten and shocked into submission. Of course, if the opportunity is there, they will retaliate. Good for Dumbo, too bad for the trainer. Dumbo should be released to a rescue for elephants or into a quality zoo that provides adequate habitat for the poor creature. No punishment is required for the elegant elephant.
