Is anybody surprised? I have no doubt they aren't Elephant Whisperers.

The hidden tiger, lion, bear training tapes would more than likely show you more of the same.

The thing that is so disturbing about it is that they appear to be hitting them for no reason.

Kind of like when some horses are about 7th in the stretch and going the wrong way with absoluely zero chance of coming in the money.

I'm shocked that a carnie would resort to animal abuse.

Thanks for this groundbreaking story, Pupkin.

Like or hate PETA, this is one tiny example of why someone has to speak for the animals...attacking Obama for swatting a fly is absurd but this...

Peta was at Fasig Tipton, with a big banner that said "For Shame!" - but that's all I saw as I drove past the two or three clowns holding it up on Newtown Pike at the entrance to the grounds.

PETA does not speak for animals. They are a domestic terrorist organization high on the FBI's list, that is responsible for killing plenty of animals. And they've killed humans, too.
