At least they managed to avoid exploding manhole covers or electrified grates...

Yes! We must Free our Animal Friends. Encourage them to fight off their oppressors and flee into the jungles of . . . New Jersey?

Im an Ele-friend! Circuses are NO FUN for animals. they are ugly displays of human selfishness.

The circus trains are not electric, so they can't go through Penn. They go over the Hell Gate bridge from the Bronx.

Poor Animals. So I guess they Hop on the train in Long Island City. Where do they stay while they're in the city? Does MSG have a Barn or a Zoo?

kojak -- the elephant trains are too high -- don't have clearance in the railroad tunnels -- so they walk them in every year.

Not to throw too much cold water on your enthusiasm, but according to the ASPCA, RBB&B have a history of abusing their elephants: Circus beats and mistreats elephants; feds turn blind eye. (Sep. 2003)

Its weird. They have their own Trains that run on the LIRR Lines. since Penn is right Under the Garden. Easy Access!

Poor elephants, tromping around in the snow. Do you think that they were cold? Or does their massive size and tough skin rule that out?
