Cole Brothers has a bad rap around elephants. For instance, "WASHINGTON, DC (NEWS RELEASE) – John Pugh, Wilbur Davenport, and Cole Brothers Circus Inc., entered plea agreements in U.S. District Court in Beaumont, Texas to resolve Endangered Species Act (ESA) violations related to the purchase and sale of two Asian elephants named “Tina” and “Jewel.”" (http://www.wwaytv3.com/2011/04/16/cole-bros-circus-fined-for-buying-endangered-elephants - alt: http://www.bornfreeusa.org/facts.php?p=429&more=1). Jose Cole circus, on the other hand, is limited to the midwest (Minnesota/etc), and per your statement, has no elephants (http://www.elephant.se/location2.php?location_id=642). To compare: Cole Brothers fact sheet at elephant.se - 41 elephants: http://www.elephant.se/location2.php?location_id=828. Easy enough to look up. Anonymous seems confused about the difference between Jose Cole and Cole Brothers, which would seem to be a simple mistake. But I'd very much dislike being accused of being a sex offender and elephant killer just because Scater (I'm Scooter) was the real culprit. And it wouldn't impact my business. So back to my original response - if you're going to say things like that, and tell your friends, and screw with a business, you should back it up with some research/facts.Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264667176243327560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582669.post-43707345183105289702011-12-07T00:30:32.902-06:002011-12-07T00:30:32.902-06:00I wonder if anonymous even realizes the Jose Cole ...I wonder if anonymous even realizes the Jose Cole show doesn't even own elephants. Its kind of hard for their elephants to die of neglect if they didn't own any in the first place. Nor did they ever have a star clown caught sodomizing a circus goer.<br /><br />Sounds like anothing animal rights "actvist" that never did their homework. Only repeating what they hear from other people like a parrot.Logannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582669.post-4053002725411094952011-04-26T19:01:26.061-06:002011-04-26T19:01:26.061-06:00Wake up?

So, if the information is not hard to find, I trust you can back it up with a link or two off the web, rather than the articles that show up first which indicate they try to treat their elephants better than other circuses?Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264667176243327560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582669.post-3270445324495559082011-04-26T16:48:50.688-06:002011-04-26T16:48:50.688-06:00Why don't you tell Erin about the beatings Jos...Why don't you tell Erin about the beatings Jose Cole employees give their elephants. Tell her about the elephants that have died due to malnourishment and neglect over the years. Tell her about the star "clown" who was videotaped by a circus goer actually sodomizing a young boy. This information is not hard to find. Wake up. Jose Cole is a dreadful organization that needs to be put out of business for good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
