At the moment, there is a proposed amendment to the budget in Massachusetts threatening the circuses' (and other exhibitors') use of elephants. It should be heartily - and immediately as it is set yp be voted upon by tomorrow - opposed, especially by anyone in that state.

PETA has been attempting to get laws passed around the country which would ban the use of bullhooks and chains. These proposals have failed repeatedly as it is bad law which would take away the necessary tools for training and handling of elephants.
