Why don’t PETA people go to India and south/east Asia and get some lawsuits going there about how they treat elephants?

Well PETA?

I’ll grill a nice big chunk of cow meat this afternoon while I wait for your answer.

Elephants - one of the big reasons I go to the circus - as well as the big cats, trained dogs, clowns, high wire acts, the pretty girls.

...violations of the Endangered Species Act.

Yep, we've got to protect those native North American elephants. Do you realize that there's so few of them that they'll be extinct very soon. (Do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

Truthfully, those things are cash cows for them. The owners usually treat those animals better than they do their wives.

People think that when the handlers hit an elephant with a stick or a pipe they are being cruel, and that is a joke. Watch an elephant crash through trees and thorny bushes 6” in dia. without even blinking, then compare it to a guy swinging a switch at them.

Ever felt an elephants hide? Watch it scratch its butt on barbed wire because it feels good, then try and tell me a human with a stick is hurting it.

But a lawyer with the Animal Welfare Institute said the organization looks forward to exposing what she called "the suffering" of the elephants.

If the animals aren't being mistreated then well and good.

But if they are, it should be ended.

Oh, No,! do they own an elephant rape rack. :)

I wouldn’t mess with elephants. They’re a lot bigger than I am.

Purpotedly, they repeatedly showed the elephants this picture.
