Activists want to rein in circus use of wild animals

�Ringling has been fined tens of thousands of dollars by the U.S.D.A. [United States Department of Agriculture] and is responsible for the deaths of at least 24 elephants since 1992,� he said. �They cannot be trusted to take care of animals properly. In fact, the Bronx Zoo plans to retire its elephants to a sanctuary because they can�t adequately meet the needs of their elephants. Who on earth believes that Madison Square Garden is a suitable environment for wild animals?� - The Villager
