Carson & Barnes Circus is bringing a number of elephants, including a young 5-year-old named Obert, tigers, goats, camels, llamas, horses, and other animals. In 2004, Carson & Barnes killed a 5-year-old Asian elephant named Jenny; Jenny died of herpes which she likely contracted from being kept with an African elephant (Carson & Barnes forced Jenny to be on the raod until 3 days before her death).

 

 

 

 

In addition to Jenny's premature and unnecessary death, Carson & Barnes was caught on video brutally beating the elephants during a " training " session. For more information on Carson & Barnes visit: http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=carson_barnes_long

 

Testimony from USDA affidavit of Byran M., former Carson & Barnes employee:

 

" When she (the elephant Del Rita) refused to hand over her trunk Joe (Frisco) took his bullhook and, using it like a baseball bat, proceeded to hit her between the eyes four times. She still refused. At this point Joe and Ben started beating Del Rita with their bullhooks. Ben was on her left side hooking the top of her ear, jabbing her left rear leg and using baseball swings with his bullhook on her side and rear legs. Joe was hitting her across her forehead and hooking her trunk with his bullhook. When this failed.... Joe pulled the hand held black hotshot (an electric prod) ...out of his back pocket. He was shocking her left hind leg, her front leg, her face and her tongue. Joe then had Darren hand him the three foot long red hotshot. He

shocked her at least fifty times. During the entire beating Del Rita was defecating and urinating. She was trying to get away... but was chained up and could not go anywhere. She kept moving from side to side. The other elephants in the barn started trumpeting loudly and defecating, urinating excessively and moving from side to side during the beatings. Tim (Frisco) said, 'The only way to handle male elephants is to take them into the barn and beat the f--k out of them, shock till they drop.' "

 

Thank you.
