that's horrible :C

Ugh.

This is f*cking disgusting. I hope these workers are skinned alive.

awww

Omg I hate it when they abuse animals and we don't know even know it.

aww, this is awful

That's terrible. Those elephants are huge and magnificant animals, and yet they're afraid to do anything because they'll get whipped. It's no wonder we hear every now and then about elephants going crazy. Those trainers are so stupid! Elephants are big. You are little. They can crush you. Moral of this story: Don't Whip Them.

it made me want to cry :[

i wish those poor elephants would trample those a**holes!

In my opinion when people treat animals like this their lives are worth nothing, but the sad thing is when theses animals act to defend themselves they get terminated

terrible

yeah that is wrong

yeah that is wrong

):
what the f*ck is wrong with some people?

That is terrible and cruel/

F*cking Bastards !!! BEAT THEM!!!

Gosh...

Omg that's horrible! I bet they wouldn't like it if people did that to them!

Share this with your friends!

this is horrible

I knew this since I was ten. Never whent a circus sense then.

Poor things.

Thats mean :/ poor elephants.

Horrible

i hate this. i hate that people take advantage of these animals!

God. That's disgusting.

I'm seriously disgusted. I went to a circus a little while ago with my baby cousin and if I'd have heard this, I'd have protested. This is just fucking disgusting, people lost their hearts.

It takes a lot to offend me, but when someone hurts an animal, that just really gets to me.

f*ckers.

I agree with jlchristy. This video is horrible! I hope these people rot in hell.

I agree with jlchristy. These people deserve to rot in hell.

Wont catch me feeling sad for these people when the animals decide to strike back. Takes a real monster to attack an animal for no reason.

I would like to see someone do that to them and see how they feel. this video made me cry

I've actually seen this happen before.... It was sad. But then I went to another circus and I know for a fact they didn't beat their animals. So, just because this one post says that ALL circus's beat their animals doesn't absolutely mean it's true. There are some that do beat their animals and some that don't. Before you go see the particular circus read up on them and see what the rating of it is. If it looks bad DON'T GO! If it looks pretty good than you have a choice. Let you and your kids go and see an elephant do some cool stuff or be held back by a bias post? Your choice.

Goddess help those @$$holes when those elephants figure out that they are MUCH bigger and can cause a LOT more damage to those guys because I sure as hell wouldn't help them. I'd be selling popcorn.

make me wanna cry

this. is. horrible.

Breaks my heart. =[

That's so sad...elephants are so cute.

all this for the cheers of thousands, and the money

I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes into it. I was about to cry. I was imagining awful,-very graffic-things that those poor elephants could be doing to those dou*he bag workers. They deserve to be castrated
with no medicine at all. I hope they rot in hell for what they do to those magnificent but poor animals.

Aww

That's awful. It makes me want to cry. Those workers ought to be castrated for being such dou*che bags! My father loves elephants, so I've grown up loving them also, and this makes me imagine graffic things that those elephants could-and should-be doing to those di**head workers. D: I'm so upset. I hope there is a cause for this.

what the eff. for real?!

I've always known this, but I'm glad PETA "uncovered" the cruelty. Hope the word spreads even farther. I've NEVER been to a circus for this reason.

people should stop their horrible!The animals are still living beings for their information!

they are living creatures too!

That is terrible.

Who would go watch that?

Aweuh.. elephants are my favorite animal .. it depresses me that people can actually treat animals like this..

This is so sad. I cried

D:

That's awful, isn't the Ringling Brothers a well known circus with generally high ratings as well?

damn humans are the worst in the universe we shouldn't even exist

That's messed up! This makes me sick. They're no different from dogs or any other animals, so why are they treated different?

i just teared uppp,

Can this get any worse??? I am an Indian and we Indians also keep elephants in our shrines...but we never whip them or treat them bad...this is terrible...

I could not even watch the whole thing.
That is a bloody disgrace!
From what I could see, the dang elephants were not even doing anything wrong!!!

Ohmygosh. That's just sick :\

Ppl are sick! whats wrong with ppl in this world! Does everyone really think that humans are the only living thing that has feelings and can feel pain

... absolutely horrible.

horrible. those people have no heart

:[ i didn't even have to watch the video and i'm already tearing up. some people are horrible. i hate that there are some who are willing to hurt other living beings because they feel as though they have the authority and the right to. my heart hurts.

Shame.

cruel :'(

awhhh :'(

thats not right

makes me sick to my stomach

Animal Cruelty laws need to get tougher >(!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

N0. SAD =[

This is so awful.

This is so f*cking horrible!!

(

thats so sad

wow, that is really freaking annoying to watch.
it would be great if those animals fully rampaged African style though, unfortunately their "spirits" are broken.
:[

aggh, how can people be so mean?!

omgsh this is horrible.
ow can these people live
with themselves.????

ughh this is pissing
me off.!! fxck i wish the elephants
would trample them and
the tigers would vhew their arms off.
fxck these people they sound crawl
into the deepest darkest hole they can find and DIE.!!!

Those guys deserve to get crushed by those elephants.

It's horrible what they do to them

</3

if I ever have kids... I will not be taking them to the circus.

I took the pledge. <3

I had no idea.

never liked circuses

Never been to a circus, now I don't think I will.

Will be signing the petition and share with friends and my blog readers

[...] Sign one of these petitions (or all!) to help those elephants being tortured in circuses for article expanding on that subject click [here] [...]

well thats ugly

oooo, I don't like this.

wow

This is such bullshit. Have any of you witnessed this first hand?

I always wonder how their treated when I go to the circus, or just see them on TV or something. =[[ This is so sad. I wish I could make the trainers go thru the same stuff they do 2 the animals so they'd know what it felt like.

PETA always makes things look worse than they really do.

thats unfair

that sucks

thats so sad

this makes me so sad D:

omg that's horrible that's disgusting..they should stop doing this//

Wow. I really had no idea it was that bad.

horrible!!!

I don't particularly like PETA - they're a bunch of extremists - but I in no way approve of animal abuse.

I have never been to a circus and do not plan on going.

Makes me sad to see that. animals have rights to ya know

the elephant is not for fun..

Awwwiiesss :[[

wtf?! stop the circus!!! :O

the people should be beat:(

omg

get over it. i would eat one

I am seriously never going to a circus again!

you all most certainly over react...ALOT. i kill animals...they taste good. P.eople E.at T.asty A.nimals. those animals serve there purpose

I seen this a while back, it's quite disgusting.

wow, i had no idea. those poor elephants. =(

Dude,those people are f***ing heartless. They drove that one elephant mad! Can't they see how unhappy those elephants are. It's like they've taken away their hearts right from their chest. They disgust me.

Lets freakin beat them with bull hooks and I guarantee they wont be fit to train those elephants any longer. Make them feel what those animals feel. Make them feel the pain.

it makes my stomach turn to know that peolpe could do this to poor creatures.....they should all go to prison and rot!!!!

I've written an article on the brutality on show bears, and this is just sadder, when will people realize the fact that animals have a life too. *sigh*

this is just wrong its time for animals to stop being treated this way for human satisfaciton people these days just dont care because they think that animals have no feeling but it hurts them twice as much as it would us.

This is horrible. What if its the other way around - animals beating humans with bullhooks? No respect for life of other living creatures. They deserve to be jailed like criminals.

Peta are hypocrites. Most circus's don't treat the animals like that. Peta kill tons of animals in their shelters.

heartless bitches.

OMG!!!
This is...ugh
U.U
shame on them

This was talked about in the Onion I read just yesterday! I wasnt sure if it was just a joke or not! Thats shocking http://www.theonion.com/articles/children-of-all-ages-delighted-by-enslavement-of-t,17534/

=(((

THAT'S SO SAD!

:@
that makes me mad!!!
why do people have to treat animals like that?
They can feel too!!!
those a**holes!!! @#$#%$%^&

people like this make me sick. i used to think that since it was a circus, they treated the animals right.

awww :[

GO TO Cirque du Soleil! They're better!

I never liked circuses. That is just so heartless Who calls and elephant a "fata**"

I feel as if i amy cry

Whhyy? :{

That's terrible! I hope they get what's coming to them.

poor elephants that's terrible!

3:<

monsters!

OH MY! D:

I wrote a report about abusing in circus' and then reading about it right here, it's just horrible. I care about all animals and this just breaks my heart.

Those elephants ought to grab that pole hook and beat the shi* out of those people and trample them, the tigers should just eat the trainers for dinner and save all the other circus animals...

This is just terrible.

This makes me want to cry

just awful.

This is horrible! Why must people be so cruel?! Are we this twisted and self-serving that we have to hurt animals for our own purposes and entertainment? DISGUSTING!!

I <3 wild animals, not circuses.

that is just crazy!! who do this to an innocent animal??

</3 :C

now I know why I never went to the circus

seriously? really? honestly this is really low do we really need to torture animals JUST for our entertainment, these animals should be living happy and peaceful lives in the wild, if they even can with out being captured or something

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i sent the pledge to everyone

fuck whats wtong with people

I've never been to a circus before and will never go.

I'm totally against going to any circus. And this is why. I dont support them one bit.

=[ They should stampede!

:O it's so hard to watch something you can't do anything about. And tears don't make a change. Protection of animals is going to drive people to becoming murderers.

Oh, my god. I can't believe this. How can they even look at themselves in the mirror? How can they do this to beautiful, innocent animals?

I don't know what to say...this is horrible....and eye-opening....I am disgusted...

that's so sad. I always loved to go to the circus and now I don't

that's sick :[

I seriously dont get how someone can do that without feeling bad for the animal at all, ok so its for money.. SO WHAT! A living creature that has feeling just like us humans is far more important than money, if people are so greedy that they'll do this kind of abuse to living creatures then we HAVE to try harder to let them know once and for all THAT IS USELESS. we need to do something about this because they really cant get away with this much longer. Thank you socialvibe for helping out with this.

That is sick!

I can't believe these people.

omfg

People are so stupid I would like to see them roped and being forced to walk on trash cans

poor animals ( makes me sich to my stomach!!

That is so disgusting, it's just terrible.

That's just terrible.

=[

I personally have never been fond of the circus, but seeing this gives me all the more reason to never want to step foot in a circus arena. This is absolutely terrible! I can't believe that some people can be so sick!! Poor animals :'(

That is so sad.

:[

Abusing animals is completely sick. The trainers should be put in jail.

That's really sad... I didn't know this happened. When I have kids, they aren't going to the circus.

i don't think i wanna go too a circus again .
This is horrible ,whats the point ? :/

That's so cruel :`(

i don't think i wanna go to a circus again . This is horrible ,whatss the point ? :/

horrible

(((( Omg. I'm cryingg. Although I already seen that video, I cry every time.

Too bad. Choose peta2 as your cause.

why the hell would anyone think this is okay? im shocked. =[

That's just freaking sad.

thats really sad. poor elephants and other animals too

I'm always disgusted by these types of things, and I can never figure out why things can't be done about it.

Sadly, the way they treat circus animals isn't "news". I'm glad you mad this info available to a (hopefully) larger audience. I've never been to a circus, and never intend to go to one, for just this reason. Oh, and also because clowns are freaky.

Discusting & highly disturbing.

this is terrible. so terrible.

Those elephant should definitely trample some bad people. Js.

Shocking.

dicks grrrr

omg dude....i did not know they did it like that ._.

Thats horrible. The guy in the video calling the elephant a fat*ss is a dang fatt*ss himself so he should just screw off. They shouldn't have to preform in such a way, or really not at all if it has to be so cruel.

i wish i was an elephant. i'd never forget anything. but i hate what they did ):

this is so wrong elephents are amazing. and these people are cold and cruel and should endure the same thing that they are putting these amazing creatures through. they would be spiting out blood with in the hour.

thats mean ):

Elephants are smelly!

Aww... I always LOVED seeing that circus. Now I feel terrible. I love elephants. I always wondered how the people were brave enough to perform with them (since one wrong move could easily crush them), but I guess now I know. The audacity of some people sickens me.

all animals should be able to be free in the wild just like we are. we should not use them for our own selfish entertainment

aww this is sad.

just awful

Those elephants and tigers should shred those trainers to pieces!! ;D

made me cryyy

Terrible

This is terrible. How about we go poking the workers with sticks and throwing powder at them to stop the bleeding? Let's see how they like it then... >=(

this is so cruel! i wish all those workers would experience the same pain as the elephants!

what the heck.
that poor elephant.
this is BEYOND! horribly bad & VERY WRONG!

that is ridiculous ,

I've seen this video before. And it is pretty bad. imagine, never being able to do anything about it? because they won't stop until it effects them personally. So what can we do to stop them? Spread the word about it. When people stop going to circuses, they will stop making money. then, they will stop abusing the animals. At least, that's what I think. Just me though.

terrible..... people should learn how to respect animals....

These animals are so easy to see in the wild, and much more beautiful in their natural habitat. Why would anyone want to go see this?

I should try the same on those people!!!

I'm not going to the circus ever again. They deserve to f*cking die.

thats terrible

people are stupid sometimes >_<

Disgusting.

If I was those animals I would rebel. I rather die than be tortured. Those people are worthless pieces of shit.

OMG

Poor elephants

I hate this, it makes me want to cry

Poor creatures

Circuses are shit. they've always been shit. I wasnt allowed to go to them wen i was little because of it, and for the past like 8 years, iv known why, and im glad i dont support it. Elephants are THE best animals in the world, and they dont get treated right. it pisses me off. People need to stop supporting circuses.

That's awful. =/

wow :c thats horrible .

Thats horrible

animal cruelty:sick

WTF! damn stupid ass ppl, they have no heart

Depressing.

how horrible.This is why I DO NOT support circuses..or any place that exposes animals.I♥elephants..

that's why I prefer the Cirque Du Solei (only people show) [:

I hate how people treat working animals. Just sick.

omfg. this just pisses me off. i wanna shoot those sonofabitches.

Damn, that's fuc**d up...

that's horrible i hate that that really upsets me ;(

omg that's horrible. at 1:20 it looks like that poor elephant is actually crying. :[

No animal deserves to be treated like this.

wow

how sad
((

wow. T_T
makes my stomach turn.
unbelievable.
i'm speechless..
i would hope this all gets outlawed soon!
and not Vaguely!
very right that there is so much more
entertainment out there.
this shouldn't happen.

i would also like to hope that
trainers do animal training because they love animals.
and love training them.
not just for the entertainment[and abuse] factors!
so sad, they really are just using these animals.
instead of working WITH them.
TT_TT

poor babies :'(

omg we have to do something

How the hell...

thats sucks that not the way to treat a elepphant

wowww... thats likee.. hella messed upp >.< i dnt see how people can actually do things like thattt.. :/

Ugh... It Makes Me Mad... Animals Have Feelings Too

Then maybe the trainers should be trained to do their tricks the same way. By the usage of bullhooks and other various torture instruments. It would be the far thing to do. These animals deserve to remain unharmed, enjoy their lives, and feel loved. This fight will remain unfinished until their are clearly stated laws against this sort of treatment which are enforced to every letter of the law possible.

Puahh!!!!!!!!

Blechhhsias;doign. Stupid people.

Heh. If they knew how it would feel they would never do that.

>:[

That is so cruel

:'(

DDD':

:'(

that's terrible! :[

:{(

D=

the video brought tears to my eyes :'(

this is so cruel, how dare they treat animals like that!!

<|3

<|3

Anyone who would dare to do anything like this to animals will get theirs...But still, I would love to whip them and stick bullhooks into them and see how they like it.

Humans are the most disgusting being on the planet. if anyone disagrees..im prepared to argue it.

Man I had no idea this was going on! I am so happy I have never been to one of these before...

poor animals :'(

i hate some people

i hate circuses

something has to happen to change this.. it shouldn't be going on.. cruel world.

sooo sad

that's so terrible...I heard about this in the documentation-film "earthlings"...really shocking

Aww this is so sad!

this is a horrible act and the people who did it should be executed.

thats so sad....

=[

poor animals

What the hell is wrong with people.
