In the wild, male elephants stay with their mothers until adolescence (age 13--elephants live to 50 years old!) and females never leave. But Ringling Bros. takes babies away from their mothers at 18 months, before "training" them with physically and psychically painful methods. PETA has a very sweet Mother's Day card you can print out and mail to the USDA asking for regulations to stop these cruel practices. Imagine a deluge of pink cards with cartoon elephants at the USDA!
Circuses are cruel institutions that belong in the history books as outrageous examples of the exploitation of fellow animals for money. Let's all resolve to find more humane ways to entertain our children.
