"Sophie and Babe were both kidnapped from the wild as children and taken away from their mothers. Before they arrived at Niabi Zoo, they were enslaved for decades at Ringling Brothers Circus, where they were beaten into performing unnatural tricks for audiences, and chained so tightly they couldn’t move." "As occurs at many other zoos, Niabi workers even apply cruel discipline using bullhooks and chains; a bullhook is a tool used to punish and control elephants, consisting of a long handle connected to a sharp steel hook, allowing “trainers” to poke, pull, and yank at sensitive areas of the elephant’s flesh." SHAME!
