Ringling Bros. Battle Over Elephants with Activists
Elephants in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus are at the center point of a six year long court battle. The Greatest Show on Earth showcases Asian elephants as part of their performances, but if animal welfare groups get their way, the pachyderms will be removed from circus shows. The hefty animals have some heavy support on their side. Among the plaintiffs are the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Animal Welfare Institute. They argue that unfortunately, cruelty to animals is the dark-side of circus life.
