This is about the biggest ring I ever saw, maybe they had some perform to attract tourists. No doubt an elephant ride as well.

If peta would send them some funds they would not have to train and make these elephants work for a living. We may have some rivals in the ring here. Elephants look pretty good. The HOOKS look pretty serious. Wonder if we got that idea from them? I just can not seem to see any marks on the elephants. Think they use make up? They would have to use a lot of itin that hot sun.

So that makes every elephant person the same in your boat?You need to go to the native lands of these animals and see first hand how the wild animals are treated. Trapped in snares that decapitate their limbs, poison, shot. When I was in Uganda in 1974 the Ugandan Army shot elephants for meat!All lead by guys like Edi Amin ! Gee I forgot again these type world leaders are the type you Koolaid drinkers follow!

I was born in Tanzania, my brother in Uganda. Back in those days there wasn't the same sensibility about shooting elephants. I remember some pictures of my dad standing on top of a massive bull he had shot. After taking the tusks, they would leave the carcass for the natives who would take the rapidly decaying meat for days. One picture showed several inside the body cavity harvesting the organs. with just the tops of their heads stcking out, while another chased away vultures.
