Elephants in the Circus

Elephants have always played a huge role in the circus. Dating back to 188 when the Ringling Brother's started the circus it was just humans doing acts. After awhile they started using animals as part of their acts. The first two animals to enter were a bear and a horse. After 1884 they slowly started incorporated other animals including elephants. They started out being a large attraction. After awhile it became a huge up roar of using elephants in the act. As of this year they will be taking elephants out of their act. That will include taking 13 elephants and sending them to an elephant conservation center.
