ARFF Investigation, Local Media Expose Circus Cruelty

ARFF has released behind-the-scenes video of elephants in the Ringling Bros.

and Barnum & Bailey Circus, taken as the circus arrived in Miami last week.

Please choose a format below to watch the video.

The 3-minute video is large (12MB) and may take several minutes to download.

Windows Media (preferred format) Quicktime

The footage provides a rare glimpse into the tiny and filthy railroad cars

that elephants are confined to for long journeys across the country. Elephants

can be seen chained and forced to stand in their own urine and feces. Such

severe confinement takes an enormous physical and psychological toll on

elephants.

 

CBS Channel 4 Special Report

Last week, south Florida's WFOR-TV aired a powerful story about Ringling's

abuse of elephants. Click here to watch the Special Report.

Please contact CBS4 and thank them for producing the lengthy investigative

report. Leave comments at the station's website: cbs4.com/contact.

 

Urge Ringling Sponsors to Stop Promoting Cruelty

Unfortunately, there are a few radio and television stations in Florida that

are promoting the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Please contact

these sponsors and tell them that animal abuse is not entertainment. Click here

for a list of sponsors, and for contact information.
