“The Onion” Mocks Circus Treatment Of Elephants

The Onion
Satirical news source The Onion, has written a hilarious piece on how elephants awe crowds at the circus, inserting random snide remarks about the circus’ treatment of the giant creatures and the resulting physical and psychological stress the animals endure.
Quotes from families that attended are recorded, such as the one from 5-year old Jonah Meeks, who, after “mistaking the elephants’ constant swaying for something that wasn’t a maladaptive behavior caused by serious psychological trauma,” said “I can dance like an elephant, too. Look at me!”
