Elephant abuse and a Republican enabler.
If you take the time to look at these links you can see why Utah Republican Rep Paul Ray is a certified asshole and needs to be out of office.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZF_KvjhL18&feature=related Warning:The clip shows horrible serious elephant abuse.

http://www.peta.org/MC/factsheet_display.asp?ID=66 PETA page on Circus elephant abuse.

Excerpt:Video footage shot during a PETA undercover investigation of Carson & Barnes Circus revealed Carson & Barnes’ animal care director, Tim Frisco, viciously attacking, yelling, and cursing at and shocking endangered Asian elephants. Frisco instructed other elephant trainers to beat the elephants with a bullhook as hard as they could and to sink the sharp metal bullhook into the animals’ flesh and twist it until they screamed in pain. The videotape also showed a handler using a blowtorch to remove elephants’ hair and chained elephants and caged bears exhibiting stereotypic behaviors caused by mental distress.

Carson Barnes Circus Homepage with Letter from Rep. Paul Ray defending them against PETA. http://www.carsonbarnescircus.com/

The assholes letter.

http://www.le.state.ut.us/house/members2005/bios2005.asp?id=13 The assholes bio.

One more reason this country needs change and needs assholes like Paul Ray out of office. Sorry if I disturbed anyone I just felt the urge to speak out for the elephants and other circus and zoo animals held in captivity today. If nayone wants to email ths former state trooper and ask him how he can congratulate monsters like these Circus people here's his email address. It's [email protected] And no I am not kidding his actual email address is [email protected]

1. Periodically, elephants go .....
berserk and stomp their keepers to death. Sometimes, for no reason at all, it seems. Maybe just the neuroses caused by their confinement.

One can only hope the elephants in question will even the score just a taste.

"[email protected]" ?..... I now know two things about this guy that disturb me.
