LOL, yea. I’d love for one of those elephants to just stomp the fuck out of that piece of shit that was sticking him with that hook. Just stomp the shit out of him.

I think I’m going to strangle a carny.

What world do we live in when scum can get paid to bash defenseless animals?

I really, really hope you were joking.

Things in the video are fuckin disguisting and it made me regret that I went to the circus a couple of times even though i was a little kid back then.

There is a carnival that always comes to my hometown of kitchener.
Everybody here hates the carny’s that are their. They get drunk and high on who knows what drugs, and walk around the neighborhood accusing people of not liking them because they are “Carny’s”.
What do these low life’s want? A big fucking sign that says “Welcome to Kitchener, we love drug addicts and alcoholics that don’t take showers”?
Carnivals are disgusting anyways. The last time I went to one, there was a BIG line up for hot dogs. I got close to the place and seen that there were flies landing all over the hot dog wieners and the buns they were carelessly leaving out of the package.
Ironically there was also a lot of flies on all the dung from the ponies…
Drumroll
AHAH I cant believe those stupid mother fuckers were eating that shit.

OMG was that stupid old inbred really winding up and hitting that elephant with a metal pole?

it seems to be a metal dense pipe of somekind i would have no problem takeing a few swings at his teeth with the very same weapon

I guess I’m the only one who got hungry after watching that.

Absolute trash, not humans.

I’ve never been to the circus and I never will, I hate the use of animals in circuses and I hate fucken clowns.

PLaying devil’s advocate here, and I know I’m not going to be a popular guy in this thread, BUT…

Since this was clearly a propaganda video for an animal rights organization, is it possible that not all circuses treat their animals so poorly? Obviously the people shown in this video were scum, and their actions appalling and reprehensible, but consider the source. The video was designed to polarize and enrage, and it was apparently effective… but how often is the “truth” handed over on such a convenient silver platter?

Food for thought.

This is why I do not go to Circuses with animals in them. I will go to Cirque du Soleil and I will take my son there, but one with animals.

Good point, don’t know for sure if all circuses treat their animals like this, but judging how they have to transport them around it really wouldn’t suprise me. It’s just pretty shitty.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think that if your weight is measured in tons and you can walk and run, your not freakin’ defenseless. You may not be at the top of the chain but you can put up a damn good fight.

Do you live in Colombia by any chance?

Colombia clowns killed on stage
Map showing Colombia
Two circus clowns have been shot dead during a performance in the eastern Colombian city of Cucuta, police say.

The attacker jumped into the arena and fired before fleeing, police chief Jose Humberto Henao told Efe news agency.

Local reports say the audience of about 20 people, mostly children, thought the shooting was part of the show before realising both men had been killed.

Last year, a prominent circus clown, known as Pepe, was also shot dead by a unknown assailant in Cucuta.

The motive for the latest killing remains unclear, police said. Local media reports suggest two attackers may have been involved.

One clown was shot in the head as he performed on stage, about an hour into the Circo del Sol’s evening show.

The second, named as 18-year-old Franklin Leal, from Cucuta, was then shot as he stood by the ticket booth, according to the newspaper La Opinion.

The travelling circus had set up in a suburb of Cucuta, capital of Norte de Santander province near the Venezuelan border, about 10 days earlier, the paper says.

There’s a difference between coulrophobia and miscoulry.

Assuming the later is a word.

Clowns reap what they sow.
