A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.
"Clara", "Tillie", and the letter "R"? Are these Ringling elephants? Who is the trainer in the "uniform?"

This is Clara, Tillie, Pitt, and Tony, the Robinson Military elephants. To have Tillie in the picture it was taken in 1924 or earlier as she was given to the Cincinnati Zoo in 1924.
