Earliler this month we had a store about PETA showing evidence that the elephants at Ringling Bros Circus were not being treated too well. Comedian and actress has joined PETA in reaching out to the public and to the USDA in a new letter talking about the mistreatment of the elephants.
Here are portions of Silverman's letter:
"My friends at PETA have expert veterinary evidence showing that Nicole, Karen, Juliette, and Sara are being forced to perform grueling tricks despite suffering from lameness and, in the cases of Nicole and Karen, arthritis as well. Arthritis is the number one reason for euthanasia in captive elephants, and veterinarians have cautioned that if their situation does not improve, Juliette and Sara will suffer life-threatening arthritis just as Karen and Nicole now do. PETA first reported this evidence to the U.S. Department of Agriculture more than nine months ago and has been told that the case is being investigated."
What do you think of Silverman's letter? Do you also want to help stop the mistreatment of the elephants? The first thing you can do is stop going to the Ringling Bros circus or any circus and then head over to PETA for some more info on how to help.
