DawnWatch has just alerted us that last Friday CBS Evening “News” ran a fluff piece on Ringling Brothers Circus’ “elephant sanctuary”/ breeding ground. DawnWatch reports that viewers were treated to quotes by the Ringling team such as “The elephants I take care of are basically like members of my family.” The CBS reporter told viewers that the elephants were “living in the lap of luxury.” The piece also lightly refers to the fact that a third of the baby elephants “will follow in their parents’ giant footsteps and join the circus.”

Pissed off folks are encouraged to contact CBS to request that they air the real story of performing elephants.
