The Symbol of the USA Republican Party is the Elephant.
"Republicans say the elephant is strong and dignified." http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0881985.html
In the USA Eephants are used and abused for circuses and zoos. They are chained, beaten with bullhooks and made to do tricks for money. There is nothing strong or dignified about being an elephant in the USA.
Watch this video for proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhQBpq0ZjDE
Republicans should fight to ban all circuses and stop zoos from breeding elephants over and over just for entertainent.
In the USA Elephants used for circuses are exempt from animal cruelty laws and are not protected from abuse.
All current Elephants should be retired to sanctuaries such as the Paws Sanctuary in California http://www.pawsweb.org/ or the Tennesse Elephant Sanctuary http://elephants.com/
Tell Republicans to protect Elephants if they are going to use them as their symbol
