This is pretty sad for the elephant.  It obviously has no say so in this matter and that is not okay.  Elephants are very intelligent and sensitive animals.  They shouldn't be kept in captivity in these circuses and shows I do not think.  This seems inhumane and not right.  I would feel guilty going to a circus seeing elephants parade around.  Maybe at a zoo where they could be in a natural habitat it could be okay but not in a circus where they are supposed to dance around for human entertainment, that is just pitiful and sad.
