Circus PETA Trouble
Many if us know the Ringling Brothers as The Greatest Show on Earth, but lately the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has uncovered a darker side to the famous circus group, animal abuse.
Over a period of time PETA was able to collect over 700 documents, including photos and videos that the group had, in fact, been torturing and neglecting the animals used for the show. In 2004 a lion was killed when circus owners failed to install a cooling system on their trains when traveling across the Mojave Desert. Knowing about this, the circus veteran Frank Hagan, told the train to stop. He request was ignored and was later fired. The company then threatened veteran Hagan with lawsuits if he didn’t keep his mouth shut.
In various cases the owners of the elephants were known to hit the elephants with hooks and electrical poles to “train” them.
What many spectators fail to realize is that the tricks they see the animals perform are a product of years of abuse.
PETA is know trying to have the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to deny a license renewal on
