How can you best turn an amazingly touching, fictional book about the exploitation of people & animals in a circus into a farce? Make a movie using a real, abused elephant named Tai from Have Trunk Will Travel.com and having the American Humane Association put its meaningless trademark- No animals were harmed! Thank you for speaking up and out against this further abuse of elephants. Please join my Facebook [age- Boycott the Movie- Water for Elephants!

I will NOt be watching the movie and hope that if people boycott the film, it will raise the profile of animals in captivity sufferring for the pleasure and entertainment of humans.

I will definately not be paying out for a movie that, yet again, one of God’s beautiful animals is being used and ABUSED, yes ABUSED What a wicked cruel world we live in. Thank God we have people like Born Free and ADI and other good groups fighting for our animals.

umm… the author pays a huge tribute elephants that were abused in the past. and while I may not agree with Tai’s owner’s decision to put her in the entertainment business, there were animal rights officials on set everyday to insure she was heathly and treated properly. she also lives on a huge ranch in CA, so she’s not exactly being carted around the world like a circus elephant. many of her scenes were CGIed.
even if you don’t agree with animals being used in movies, and I’m not saying that I do, this book and movie share a beautiful message about the relationships formed by humans and animals.

I did not read the book because I heard it was not a good book,nor will I be seeing the movie because animals in a Circus are abused animals. People need to stop thinking that Circus animals are well treated as they are not. Elephants are not made to perform tricks.
