Please help .

Baz i know this isnt a spurs subject, but i am just asking for say 1 hour on the main chat forum before putting it on non football posts.

The plight of anne the elephant can be googled and the video watched of the beating she took from her carer, for christ sake he was smashing at her arthritic leg .

Any spurs fan can help by writing to the government to stop circus owners like bobby roberts ever owning animals again.

There is other info on the daily mail article from adi who placed the hidden camera in the first place.

Thanks baz.

Bobby Roberts Needs His Ar se Whooping. I'd pay to Watch.

I couldnt find it either baz, a friend of mine may be able to find it, be back a bit later.

Baz the petition is on care2, if you google it.......anne the elephant petition.

I just watched that again ! looking for the petition, i feel absolutely murderous, i would like to do the same to those fcking evil scum............................

That blow to the base of her spine was meant to inflict agony.

She has to be taken away from roberts and into a sanctuary.

Only collectively can we do anything about it.

There are more able pc academics on here than myself,perhaps someone can get the petition up on one of the forums.

lew, i cant bring myself to even watch the video, the still pics are enough for me as i can imagine the rest. i would like to torch that f*cking circus to the ground with those excuses for humans inside. myself i support international animal rescue who do a good job abroad saving animals such as dancing bears from the horrors of their"owners" barbaric treatment.i will find the petition and sign it mate. karmas coming those b*stards way eventually.

Thanks shear, i know this isnt a spurs subject and i apologise to anyone who thinks i am out of order asking baz to keep it on the main forum, but i know many of us on here are horrified by animal cruelty, if i have brought it to the attention of just one member or guest looking in who then go on to voice their anger to the correct channels then just maybe we might get something done about circuses in this country.

This has been on my mind all day, i cant understand why human beings would beat up an old 55 year old elephant thats chained to the spot so she couldnt even run away, and to target her arthritic leg.....and pitchfork her face, and to even spit at her....kicking her stomach, bashing her across the base of her spine ? i am completely numbed and have to ask how long has she been subjected to this treatment, because you know for a fact this wouldnt have been an isolated incident.

On monday i am getting on to rspca headquarters, i have a direct debit to them for the past ten years, i want to know what they are going to do about it, the owner and staff have to be prosecuted in my opinion and banned from working with animals again....i am not happy , the rspca have had hundreds of pounds of my money, i am disillusioned because i pay them to look after animals...they need to do something because i will be cancelling the direct debit if they dont.

i saw they said the animal was apparently well looked after ?????? wtf have they even seen the vid yet. they should prosecute that handler in the pics. evil b*stard

Here is the link to sign the petition.

She says the RSPCA are aware but unfortunately there is nothing they can do as Circuses do not come under the remit of RSPCA law like dogs, cats and horses etc. Circuses are a law unto themselves in this country. It will need to be changed in parliament first.

I think lauren is right baz but quoting from the daily mail article "In 2005 the rspca and the government refused to intervene in her case after claims that she was being kept in appalling conditions "..........this seems to intimate that something could and can be done.

Thanks for everything baz, and the petition link.

Thanks everyone and only by voicing your protest at this by doing what you can, we will stop animal abuse.

You can look at what adi are doing by googling them, you can write to your mp, i just have to end by saying what pleasure anne must have given little kiddies who saw an elephant for the first time, and now she deserves her day of peace...........instead of being rewarded by being beaten up by absolutely low life scum, i am sure those same little kiddies would be in tears seeing what has become of her.

Thanks everyone.

Lew.

Thanks lee ! and thanks to those that run the forum that the petition is well past its goal of 1000 signatures.

Roberts is finished, you cant even get a reply from his booking office 07860 787745.

Now we just need anne handed over to the right hands, roberts has abused his right as owner of her, he cant look after her but has to pay evil filth.

You cant tell me he didnt know what was going on, and says it would break his heart to part with her, while his staff are breaking her body.

One of the (so called carers) have been named on facebook.

See, bobby roberts super cruel circus on facebook.

Baz and all, there are a lot of big names now joining the plight of anne, plus the rspca and adi are actively involved, the latest news is that roberts seems to be relenting and will allow anne to leave and retire, whipsnade zoo have offered to take her, but we have to hope roberts now feels the public anger against him so much that he really is risking what afterall is his livlihood, and stay true to his word.

I cant say how grateful i am that you allowed this thread to continue on the main board, i feel i have taken advantage of your good nature, but its up to you if you want it to stay on what afterall is a tottenham chat forum.

For those wishing to stay up with news about anne then the mail online is probably the best site to go on.

As i said big names are now getting involved at the outrage, so i feel we have done our bit on here.

THANKS YOU LOT................BEST FANS OF THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD.

Latest news is that anne might be going to longleat, she is not a well elephant and is being assessed by vets.

Fingers crossed ! oh and roberts is now concerned about his business , and his wife says anne can go as long as she is well looked after...............is that a fcking joke or what ?
