Please Ban Animal Performing Circuses in California

Elephants are widely assumed to be among the most cognitively advanced animals. Their natural behavior can include walking in large areas, socializing and showing emotions within their tight nit families. The elephants have a threatened and endangered status due to poaching and the capture and selling to other countries for entertainment purposes. The circus holds these wild animals captive while abusing them in order to perform tricks and entertain the humankind. Let's STOP this cruelty in the state of California and in America!  Animal abuse is NOT alright.
