In a recent article I spoke about a Dachsund Act currently playing as part of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey one-ring circus — officially called "The Coney Island Boom-A-Ring!" -- currently playing in Coney Island.
My article was meant to show how even Dachsunds can impress -- but I neglected to also mention how the circus also features seven Bengal tigers and three Asian elephants.
The ASPCA is currently involved in a federal lawsuit against Ringling Bros. The lawsuit contends that the circus's treatment of its Asian elephants violates the Endangered Species Act by abusively training and disciplining elephants with sharp implements such as bullhooks, and by intensively confining and chaining the multi-ton animals for prolonged periods.
