Whatever
circus people say - elephants are violently abused when trained for the
circus, and the subsequent life they live is gruesome. It is,
admittedly, hard for us to accept that not all countries have banned
circuses from using elephants a long time ago, considering what we know
about elephants, their sociality, their cognitive abilities, their need
for space and companions.
For 8 years we have been trying to get the Norwegian government to demonstrate their otherwise progressive image in their animal welfare policies, but we’re utterly disappointed with their attitude so far.
The linked film is a result of a collaboration with NOAH, and premiered during a press conference in Oslo that both Joyce and Petter attended 20th May. We haven't given up! Norway - it is time to step up for elephants!
