It’s the Fully Charged show, but all their shows use elephants.

Who’s in? I’m for real!

I have personally witnessed Ringling transport elephants and other animals on a truck to the circus venue in St. Louis. They may transport directly via train in Nashville but you are aware they have this circus in other cities, right?

Troll elsewhere.

Wonder why the picture shows an elephant in a TRUCK. Because it’s not Ringling…

You can search for them on the internet.

Support these circuses!

Elephants are my favorite species, particularly the African Elephant. Ringling has done some terrible things to elephants, and have been sued and fined by the government for poor treatment of animals multiple times.
But, yes, but, for one, they use the elephant chains to keep them in place. They can’t set up a secure stable everyhwere they go. The elephant can still lie down. Circuses that are not abusive have to use this. However, as I said before, Ringling still is abusive
For another, as said before, there is no proof this is from the Ringling circus. However, whatever circus did do the training has some serious problems. No explainations can make up for this. No excuses. No reasons. Send them to a good zoo.
P.S. Not all circuses abuse their animals, but many do. I went to a circus once and I spent a ton of time studying the elephants and they had no marks or scars. They had no stereotypies (basically a nervious twitch, like a child twidling their fingers or looking back and forth). I study animal behaviorology, and these particular elephants were not at all distressed. This particular circus was non-abusive, but many still are.
Although these pictures may not be from the Ringling Bros. Circus, their particular circus is abusive to elephants, just as demonstrated in the pictures.

Anyway, whatever circus these photos are from, send them to a goodzoo, like Sedgewick County. Make sure that they are not a canned hunt zoo (a canned hunt sale is popular with many zoos. Basically, they have two adult animals. Those adult animals have cute little babies. When those cute little babies grow up and have cute little babies of their own, it starts to get pretty crowded. What happens is they take the first pair of aniamls, the oldest and least paid attention to by visitors, and sell them to canned hunt organizations. Basically, these animals are put in a small space and when a customer comes, they pay money to hunt the the animals. The animal is kept in the exhibit and is shot right there so they can be mounted as a trophy.)
