PETA: How to Train an Elephant

PETA: How to Train an Elephant
Your rating: None Average: 7.3 (30 votes)

To bring attention to, and help stop, the cruelty of elephants in the circus, we engaged an audience that is already in an "animal caretaking". Mindset: Pet store customers. By placing a simple training manual on pet store checkout counters, we communicated to pet owners the abuse circus elephants endure when they're trained to perform their tricks. Ultimately, encouraging readers to help stop the torture of the elephants by boycotting the circus.

Laying it on a bit thick, don't you think, with the "cold, cold hear" and "complete lack of morals"?

I really want to like this, but it's too heavy-handed for my tastes.
