Annie the Asian elephant was filmed being struck with a metal pitchfork, kicked in the face and body and shackled by heavy chains in the winter quarters of the Bobby Roberts Super Circus in Polebrook, Northamptonshire. Images show the elephant being hit 48 times and reveal a poor feeding regime, Now I watched this video and I was angry I can't put into words just how angry I was, Annie is such a beautiful Elephant very mild and I know that she must be very loving and tender her nature is far better than mine as she lives with this abuse but I will not stand for it and I know that you guys wont either its time she was taken away from this place and allowed a nice life a loving life a SAFE life. Help me fight this my fellow warriors.  

Animal Defenders International (ADI). brought the video to the public and I thank them for that, we need warriors like you out catching this scum so we can stop it and free these animals so well done to you guys.  Annie's tragic story symbolises the plight of circus animals and is a shocking indictment of the circus industry at a key time as government considers a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses.  

I ask the Governments to make sure that Annie and all Circus animals be released to wildlife sanctuaries where they can life a free and happy life, so they can be safe to live and love and to be loved, they are not here for the entertainment of people, We need to save life, be the voice for those who have none and protect the weak.
