A Ringling “news” video shows Ringling elephants “choosing the next president.”
Will Travers, CEO of Born Free USA united with API, responds, “Captive elephants (carefully marshaled by employees wielding sharp, steel-tipped bullhooks) ‘choosing the next President’ may seem like typical piece of election season ‘fluff’, but not even this latest gimmick from Ringling can deflect public attention away from the real Headline News — that in less than 2 weeks the most famous Circus in the world will stand before Washington DC Court to answer allegations of cruelty and abuse of endangered Asian elephants.”
