Tyke the Elephant’s Last Day on Earth (VIDEO)

By 1994, an elephant named Tyke had been abused in the circus for years. The never-ending confinement was too much for her to bear. This is the story of Tyke’s last day on Earth:

Tyke killed a trainer and injured 13 others. She was then shot nearly 100 times and killed.

Twenty years later, Tyke’s story is a powerful reminder about the horrors that animals still face in circuses today. Don’t let Tyke be forgotten. Share her story right now.

Bigotry begins when categories such as race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or species are used to justify discrimination.
