latimes.com — Animal welfare groups say the treatment of Asian elephants violates the Endangered Species Act. Ringling denies the allegations, saying it has never been cited for animal cruelty. But today, a nearly 9-year-old legal case over the elephants' treatment will come to trial in U.S. District Court.

Very true... you put a tiger in a cage and you're an animal abuser!

I have family that has worked with Ringling for years. Their animals are treated better than the people.They also have safe and well maintained animal preservation areas for when they "retire".

umm... please explain how putting a wild, free-roaming animal like a tiger into a tiny cage ISN'T animal abuse.
