Circuses 100's, Elephants 1

Well finally after all these years and countless demonstrations, picketing the circus for using elephants in their acts, it appears the elephants finally win. Yesterday Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circuses announed they are phasing out the elephant acts, and retiring them to the National Elephant Center in Florida.

Finally elephants won't be performing at Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey's

They will be phasing them out. I wonder, why not just do it now? 2018 is the date but that is so long from now.

In addition to Ringling Bros. there are still many circuses using the elephants. India has banned the use of elephants, but for the most part they go on ignored.

Here is the link to PETA for what they have to say regarding this victory.
