OK guys, glad you liked it. Here is the first PSWS rescue mission!
Greneph and Franklinson Animal CircusOk, the circus is in town. Well, not exactly, it is in Sacramento, hours away from LA. We received complaints from some welfare groups about this circus. The anonomyous tippers used words like "Horrifying" and "disgusting". We had to check this out. I was sent undercover to the circus to get some evidence.
Ok, Here is the admission booth. At first glance this place looks nice. It didn't seem disgusting.
http://img285.imageshack.us/img285/2426/enlarged1cv.jpgHere was the picnic area and food kiosks. They looked semi-clean and not that bad. The restrooms were fine, too.
http://img285.imageshack.us/img285/8973/enlarged3in.jpghttp://img475.imageshack.us/img475/5952/enlarged7gn.jpgI went on the rollercoaster to see if i could spot anything. All i saw was an arena in the back corner of the circus. There was also a skytower.
http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/88/enlarged3xf.jpghttp://img475.imageshack.us/img475/3695/enlarged3fo.jpgThen i saw the sign "Animals this Way--->". The first pen i saw was way undersized with many barbary apes in it.
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/3848/enlarged3vl.jpgThen there was a small pen that contained two m/f pairs of asian elephants and one m/f pair of african elephants. these animals obviously were barely fed and also had marks where i could believe their trainers whipped them.
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/7694/enlarged8fj.jpgAgain i saw an undersized pen with four or five chimpanzees in it. I was apalled by the filth these animals were in and the amount of ribs that shown through their chests.
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/1883/enlarged2qt.jpgThe next undersized pen contained a m/f pair of mountain gorillas, again underfed and uncleaned. As i looked around every animal was that way.
http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/511/enlarged8xh.jpgThe next small pen contained two bears, one a polar, the other a grizzly. They had scars where they must have fought eachother.
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/1317/enlarged9uy.jpgThe next pen held one female lion and three male lions. All of them had scars where they must have fought and been whipped.
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8191/enlarged7ab.jpgThe next pen amazed me. They somehow had got their hands on an amur leopard and had it in this filthy pen.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/8616/enlarged2jd.jpgThe next pen contained a black leopard and a jaguar. Both had scars and open wounds where they had been fighting.
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9373/enlarged2ln.jpgThis pen was one of the worst.They had around four giraffes in a pen that was barely big enough for one. They all had scars and callouses where they had kicked eachother and layed against eachother.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/4935/enlarged4if.jpgThe next pen contained four white rhinos. They had one that was sick with what appeared to be a dead fetus inside her. The others were male and trampling the sick one as they fought.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/8789/enlarged0lb.jpgThis next pen had two camels in it. They were dromedary and cowered in the corner. They had scars where they must have been whipped for camel rides.
http://img431.imageshack.us/img431/1774/enlarged5sh.jpgThe next pen contained red kangaroos and two yellow footed rock wallabies. I was apalled by the amount of animals they stuffed into the pen.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/241/enlarged4df.jpgTwo zebras stood in the next pen. They both looked very week and scared from all the exposure. one had a smear of pink icecream on her rear from a child throwing it at her.
http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/103/enlarged6oi.jpgThe next exhibit had i don't know how many spotted hyenas in it. I was totally stock-raving mad. they were all hostile and near killing each other as i watched.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/5807/enlarged6vk.jpgThese next two pens were bird-cage size and one contained four lemurs, ringtails as far as i could tell, and the seconf one contained two koalas, both sick and amesciated.
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/8572/enlarged9qq.jpgThis pen contained a white and an orange bengal tiger. They were both dirty and sick.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/4045/enlarged8sd.jpgThis next cage contained two reindeer decorated with holiday wreaths. They probably though that strangling the deer with these would be cute.
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/1681/enlarged7mf.jpgThe next pen contained a nile crocodile. It has part of its lower jaw missing probably due to people trying to wrestle him.
http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/7987/enlarged4ly.jpgThis next exhibit was really small and contained two flamingoes, both almost dead.
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7600/enlarged9pq.jpgThere was a small pen next to it with a caracal in it.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3041/enlarged5sg.jpgThis next exhibit contained a beaver and two aardvarks. Both couldn't move.
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/5043/enlarged9yk.jpgThis next exhibit contained a wolverine and a ratel. The ratel had open wounds where the wolverine had attacked.
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6760/enlarged6lz.jpgThis next pen contained two ostrices and it was barely big enough for a lemur.
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5783/enlarged4xx.jpgThis pen contained a lot of peafowl. They had half of them escape because some roamed the zoo.
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9026/enlarged9lx.jpgThere was a pack of wolves in the next pen. They had all gone hstile and many had scars where they fought.
http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1460/enlarged1qe.jpgA big mix of gazelles and antelope were in the next pen. There was a bongo, a gemsbok, gazelles and generuks.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/9113/enlarged9ld.jpg\This next pen was one of the worst. It was very small and contained a moose that had no room to move around. It was so sad to see the callouses that had formed where he leaned against the fence.
http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1276/enlarged2ym.jpgThe next pen contained two warthogs and three wildebeest. They were all sick and amasciated.
http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/215/enlarged9th.jpgThis next teeny pen contained a fennec fox. The pen was the size of a bird cage.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2039/enlarged9bd.jpgThis teeny pen contained a few gibbons that were all sick and filthy.
http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/9476/enlarged1la.jpgThis next pen contained alpine ibex. four of them were crammed into the teeny pen.
http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/6958/enlarged5eo.jpgFour penguins(yeah, no climate control in there either) were in the next pen. They were all sick due to the temperatures.
http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/5922/enlarged4gm.jpgThe next bird-cage sized pen contained a giant panda. It was sick, too. I was mad, now.
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4332/enlarged3ql.jpgThere was a spanish lynx in the next pen.
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2175/enlarged0hu.jpgThey had stuffed galapagos tortoises into the next exhibit. They had no room to move.
http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/6074/enlarged4yg.jpgI left the animal area after viewing them all and went to the arena. I entered the arena and went up the ramp.
http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/4140/enlarged4hu.jpgWhen i got in, i saw two more african elephants, being whipped from outside the fence, being forced to sit on their butts. there was also a lion and a white bengal tiger being forced to fight at the other end. this was it. I called my agency and they sent five trucks for the animals.
