Animals in circuses are the “most enriched animals on the face of the
earth,” John Kirtland, Ringling’s executive director for animal stewardship
contends. So where are the treats and positive reinforcement? Nope, circuses
pack bullhooks, chains, ropes, cinch collars, shock prods, axe handles,
baseball bats, metal pipes and whips.
Tom Rider, former Ringling barn man for 2.5 years, testified before
Congress: “[Elephants] live in confinement and are beaten all the time when
they don’t perform properly... I was told, ‘That’s discipline.’”
