Circus elephant Viola escaped her handler on Tuesday to roam the streets of Butte, Montana. She was scheduled to perform with the Jordan World Circus before she wandered off through town, halting traffic. cbsn.ws/3JmrQm5
@CBSNews No word yet on who cleaned up the 500 pounds of elephant poop.
@CBSNews SHE BELONGS TO THE WILD!!! Justice for Viola!
@CBSNews We need a world wide ban on performing elephants, tigers, lions etc. someone please rescue her.
@CBSNews Never heard of Jordan World Circus, but there is one thing I do know about this circus & it’s that it needs to stop using animals for its shows. This poor beautiful elephant needs to go to a sanctuary to live a happy & calm life.
@CBSNews Viola was luckier than Tyke, another female circus elephant who went on the rampage in Honolulu in 1994 and was killed by a fusillade of 100 bullets fired by local police images.app.goo.gl/fDVhEPggAGy7Ei…
