Footage from the Mighty Carson & Barnes Circus

Circa 1980's I believe. From putting the tent up to tear down this 2 hour homemade video shows it all!

Sad sad sad for those animals. they deserve a better life where they can be what they truly are, not entertainers. Look at those poor elephants swaying in chains, HOW can you not see how wrong it is. esp that one afraican elephant reaching and wanting to roam. Elephants evolved to be movers, not confined to chains before and after a show. Poor Giraffe and Rhino in small cages, guess they're lucky! This isn't love at all. If you truly love animals, you would meet their needs first and know what they need. Elephants should be roaming and forging in wide open spaces, being with each other always, making their choices what they wanna do. SHAME on anyone who thinks this is okay.

If you love this video, you'll also love kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4DMaXuVhcp4aKc in which Tim Frisco is explicitly teaches and demonstrates to new trainers how to beat the living daylights out of elephants when hidden from all of your eyes. Lovely stuff! Yay Carson & Barnes!
