Trainer Blows Whistle on Ringling from His Deathbed.

Former Ringling Circus trainer, Sammy Haddock, decided to clear his conscience before his untimely end by telling the world that Ringling beats animals.  Sammy sent testimony and pictorial evidence of Ringling Circus employees using ropes, chains, and bullhooks to force baby elephants to perform. 

Ringling claims that elephants “love” to perform and that “baby elephants do headstands in the wild.”  From the pictures, it does not look like these little guys want to do headstands.

Thanks Sammy, for doing the right thing and leaving a heroic legacy behind.  May the circus be shut down, the elephants taken to a sanctuary, and no more elephants stolen from Africa and brought here as slaves under the cruel and unkind hand of Ringling Brothers Circus.
