I genuinely did not know Circus Elephants were still like,,, a thing that was done in the US? What the fuck? The last circus here in Australia using Exotic Animals stopped that a few years back now, but y'all still have whole ass ELEPHANTS?

I was going to go on a rant about how this isn't just cruel to the elephants, but incredibly dangerous to people, but then I remembered this is America we're talking about and y'all have proven you really don't give a shit about simple public safety.
@delphindae I agree. Elephants aren't needed in circuses. Id like to think the majority still in acts are legacy animals, but I don't know much about the subject.
@delphindae Most of the exotic animal use in US circuses was successful, for the big name popular circuses. Smaller more local circuses that aren’t as popular drip run rampant. Just like with zoos all the attention goes to the big names.
@delphindae I thought circus were just done in general, however apparently not.
