You all know about elephants and the circus, I'm assuming. When they do all those amazing tricks like standing on their head and balancing on a ball. And you get to wondering, "How do they train these elephants to do what they want?" I'll tell you: out of fear. The trainer--if you could even call those a-holes (excuse my cursing) trainers--uses this thing called a bull hook. The bull hook has a sharp point in one end, and on the same end, a hook. They use the point to poke the poor animal, and they use the hook to grab the elephant by the ear, above the eye, etc. and drag them, violently tugging and pulling! They will even beat the elephant with it. So, the elephants do what the trainers want because they fear for another painful beating. It's even bad in zoos, for the elephant. Elephants are meant to move--they also have arthritis--and if you keep them cooped up in a pen, they will experience foot diseases. If you want to see more, go watch An Apology to Elephants. I watched it last night, and it's absolutely awful what people do. I now hate Thomas Edison, and if you watch, you'll understand why. If you care, don't support circuses or with your money if they're keeping the elephants in pain, and if you ever have, please reconsider. Also, tag as many people as you can think of and inform them in the problem with elephants. Then, tell them to do the same. Btw, I'm tagging random people, scrolling through my followers list, so if you aren't tagged, don't feel bad, and if you are and have no idea who the heck I am, I'm sorry.
