In circuses, Elephants are confined and chained for literally hours on end; Through physical punishment and the threat of its use, they are trained to pose in unnatural and difficult positions; They are moved, in unbearable heat and below freezing temperatures, from city to city chained in flatbed trucks and in boxcars; Calves are separated from their mothers at an early age for the purpose of training; Elephants are removed from companions to be bought and sold, and frequently moved about; Circus elephants have no level of autonomy over their lives, to the extent where they are trained to defecate into a bucket on command. Elephants in circuses are reduced to objects of entertainment for people. An elephant's place is in the wild with its relatives and companions. The totally unnatural existence for circus elephants is a travesty and to allow this practice to continue is unjustified and unethical.

Thanks for posting. I used the image (and cited the museum) for a natural history quiz where participants had to guess the age of different species.
