There's nothing fun about how elephants are treated in the circus. Trainers scare elephants into performing tricks by whipping them, shocking them, and beating them with bullhooks over and over again.

Have you ever heard of an elephant standing on his or her head or balancing on a pedestal in the wild? Of course not! That's because it's not natural for elephants to do silly things like that. In the wild, elephants spend their days eating, playing, and traveling with their families.

Elephants are highly intelligent, thoughtful, and loving animals. In fact, they have the largest brains in the animal kingdom! One of the amazing things that they've been spotted doing is using sticks and other tools to swat away flies or scare away enemies. And get this: If elephants see a member of another species, including humans, in danger, they'll try to help them. That's why we should return the favor by doing whatever we can to help elephants who are suffering in circuses. How's that, you ask? By not going to the circus, of course!

Remember: Every time that you buy a ticket to a circus or other event that uses animals for entertainment, you're supporting cruelty to animals. So don't do it. It's that simple. The more that people stay away from the circus, the more circuses will be forced to shut down, which is GREAT news for animals.
