No, Bob, I didn't say that the Ringling handlers treated the elephants in a cruel manner. Please read what is written.
That said, elephants are herd animals and live in matriarchal herds. That is what the research tells us. Ringling recognizes this because they have their own elephant sanctuary where the elephants are a herd.
The business case has been made, and the circus is going to contract. Personally, I'd like three shows moving by rail. The business case won't sustain that.
