Elephants retired from circus

This piece of news was posted on the 17th May 2016 on a website called English in levels. The article talks about the withdrawal of 11 elephants which were in the Ringling Brothers' Circus doing an amazing show. As the news says, the animals have been moved to Florida, in a conservation centre. Finally the article explains that elephants are endangered, so there are fewer than 40,000 elephants in the wild.

In my opinion I think this is a fantastic piece of news. I really like the idea of elephants not being used and mistreated in Circuses. The conditions of animals living in captivity, not only in a Circus but also in a zoo, are very poor and miserable, and they should have a right to live in their natural habitat. So I’m glad these poor 11 elephants could now have a better life. People seem to be getting more and more conscious about the topic of animal rights and endangered animals.
