i believe i've mentioned this in the past, but it won't hurt to mention it again. i do NOT attend ANY circus (or anything else) that involves animals. many are abused and/or not well cared for. please don't support them.

Elephant rescue offers mud, bath, and lots of space
A Tennessee sanctuary reintroduces elephants to a natural habitat after years of captivity and abuse.
By Melanie Stetson Freeman Staff photographer
HOHENWALD, TENN. – Circuses and zoos aren't always fun - at least not for some of their biggest stars
Jenny, for example, severely injured her back leg but still was forced to perform. Billie and Frieda were kept in isolation for 10 years. Liz's trunk is partially paralyzed, perhaps because of malnourishment or being struck repeatedly across the face.
But that was then. Today, they're part of a group of 19 retired zoo and circus elephants that have made it to The Elephant Sanctuary. Instead of enduring steel pens and chains, the pachyderms roam 2,700 acres of forest and pasture land in the rolling hills of central Tennessee. America's largest private natural refuge, the sanctuary boasts a climate, terrain, and vegetation surprisingly similar to the elephants' native Asian and African birthplaces. The animals are not on public display, and they set their own schedules...........

i don't buy cosmetics tested on animals either.
i don't know how people can be cruel. i don't know how people can chain a dog on a one foot length and have the collar so tight it imbeds right into the dog's skin. i don't know how people can have a farm and NOT FEED their animals. i watch far too many episodes of animal cops on animal planet. i am non violent by nature but it does make me want to HURT people
