Elephant Kills Trainer
December 27th, 2007
I just heard the news, that a circus elephant fell out of a truck and killed its handler in Australia. The elephants being unloaded were called Arna and Gigi from the Stardust Circus. According to the Circus Watch website – back in 2002 a cruelty case was upheld against Stardust Circus regarding its treatment of Arna the elephant.
In 1974 a similar accident happened in Heidelberg, Victoria, an elephant called Abu killed a circus driver/attendant.
Circus Watch an organisation ‘dedicated to aiding the ongoing awareness of the public as to why and how animals in circuses suffer’, have their own list of incidents involving circus animals in Australia.
