Even animal-rights activists who hate the circus couldn't have dreamed up this potential pitfall: An elephant with Ringling Bros. was wounded overnight in a drive-by shooting in Tupelo, Mississippi, reports the Clarion-Ledger. The good news is that "Carol," who was in an outdoor enclosure at the time, is expected to make a full recovery from her shoulder wound.

I wouldn't say that activists wouldn't think up such a thing. You are talking about the same people who have gone around dog shows and put antifreeze into drinking water bowls and left notes, "better off dead than living in a cage"

There's a difference between activism and crazy.

This was my first thought, an extremist animal activist who believes the animal is better off dead than "enslaved" to humans (the same type who wouldn't approve of a sanctuary or zoo setting for the animal)

Isn't that how PETA feels about animals? Not that they go around shooting them with bullets, they use euthanasia fluid instead........
