Bob Barker Elephants Quotations

I'd like to see animals removed from the entertainment business. Chimpanzees and apes won't perform unless you beat them. Circuses keep elephants in chains 90 percent of the time. Elephants need freedom of movement. In circuses, they live in cramped quarters, which is not the life intended for them by nature. Some are beaten daily, forced to do ridiculous tricks and robbed of every shred of dignity.

In their natural habitat elephants graze up to 20 hours a day. A circus keeps an elephant in chains 90% of the time. They are deprived of water and deprived of food. They are shocked.

I came here today to ask, to beg you, to beg you, to vote to release those elephants from that zoo. They have lived in misery.

There's only one solution to the tragic, the embarrassing elephant problem going on at (the zoo), and it's to release those elephants from captivity and place them in a sanctuary.
