Jackie_project 3

For my project, I want to focus on animal cruelty in the circus, especially with elephants. Circus acts such as The Ringling Brothers beat them, hit them and jab them with bullhooks. While on the road, the animals are chained up and tied down with ropes and kept in small uncomfortable cages. They also go through violent training sessions. Here are a few websites I am thinking about using. The Ringling Brothers website seems like it using almost all flash, so I don't think I'll be able to use it. I am going to try and use other circus websites and just replace all of the information. Also, the first website on the list is an organization led by the Ringling Brothers to show that they have an elephant center, where they take care of the elephants. I am not sure if this is entirely true, so I might use it as a spoof and put all of the negative information on the site about how cruel they actually are to the elephants.
