Outrageous aminal cruelty

[RedSpike66]

Has anyone seen the horrendous actions of the 'carer' of the 58-year-old elephant owned by that circus here in the UK ? Surely there must be something the authorities can do to stop such disgusting behaviour against defenceless animals?

Sickening.

I've just watched the video

I can't believe we haven't banned all animals from circus's in the UK. Those aholes want lynching.

He said it would break his heart to let her go to a sanctuary....GRR!! FFS he obviously isnt thinking about the needs of the elephant, only the needs of himself! Selfish Tw***ting mother F**er!!! Makes my blood boil!!

[Seti]

Absolutely disgusting treatment. Shame she didnt crush him.

[Jasandjules]

Let's hope the Police or RSPCA take this on and prosecute these f***ers.

[Mrs Grumpy]

There is a groundswell of support to take (legal) action against this on:

Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/BOBBY-ROB...

A Care2 petition via Facebook http://apps.facebook.com/petitions/1/save-Annie-st...

Captive Animals' Protection Society (CAPS) http://www.captiveanimals.org/news/2011/03/breakin...


Note the threats on Facebook from what may be the circus folk. This circus is touring again and due in Gorton in April

I'm going to email Born Free, they may already be aware of Annes plight but I have been a member of theirs for several years so I feel I need to see if they are doing anything. I have been absolutely sickened by this poor beautiful creatures treatment, tears were rolling when I saw the video (as well as the other animals in the background that are victims aswell)

[FraserLFA]

There are some people in this world that i could kill and never think twice about it.

This lot are on the list. What sad excuses for humans....

[bexVN]

Pleading email to Born Free done. They are fully aware of her case but I have asked them what involvement they have. If they get their weight behind her they can have a lot of influence, fingers crossed.

Check if your MP has signed the early day motion to ban animals from being kept by circuses:

Then use the link below to email them if they haven't:

what a f***ing bd,makes my blood boil just watching it, ashamed to be part of the human race seeing this inflicted on a poor animal.

[bexVN]

It makes you wonder just how many years she has had harsh treatment, she is a powerful creature who could knock a bloke off his feet just with a swipe of her trunk, yet she does nothing, either to arthritic too care or respond or she has retaliated in the past and paid for it dearly to the point of realising it is just easier to put up with it.

[MudSkipper]

That is truely shocking! I can't believe anyone would want to hurt animals like that

He says the only sanctuarys are in America, surely even a Safari park place here would be a million times better than what she's having to go through at the moment

That is shocking. These people should be put down and the elephant allowed to live out its days in comfort.

[Moo27]

Poor Poor Girl,

At least it has made the national press and 'most' influential people are aware of her plight.

Fingers crossed someone can get her out of there soon!

[Victor McDade]

Have to say I'm not usually a fan of groups like PETA but in this case I wish they hunt these bds down and have a 'word'.

[Moo27]

Well by the sounds of the news this morning, Whipsnade Zoo are trying to rehome the hefalump!

[M001]

Excellent news.

Whipsnade would be ideal, plenty of space and lots of other elephants.
