French circus Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione has ended one of its controversial elephant shows after significant pressure from an animal rights organization. The circus’ decision affected one elephant in particular: Vana Mana, a 43-year-old female who has been in circus captivity since the 1970s. However, Vana Mana’s future is still in jeopardy, as she may find herself forced to perform somewhere else.
