Elephant Abuse
On Wednesday, February 4, 2009, animal rights groups took Ringling Brothers Circus to federal court, accusing them of violating the Endangered Species Act by using bullhooks and chains while training its elephants. During opening arguments each side showed vastly different videos documenting the animal's treatment.
