Circus Work!?

Hey, my name is Stephan. I am 9 years old and in my elephant essay. You are going to learn about things you never knew happened to elephants. In my essay you will be heart broken. This essay will have drama parts in it. Reading my essay will make you learn about circus work and how it affects people in society. Trust me.

I care about elephants because they are just like us and we will give them love, treats, care, and respect. But the thing that ticks me off is that people are still poaching elephants in Africa. I just don’t get it, why would you run up to an elephant and poach it? Poaching is when people stick a long stick in elephant’s jaws or along their face. They also use guns to poach the elephants. The poachers are trying to get their tusks so they can make jewelry out of their tusks. You can think about that for the remainder time we have left for the elephants. Okay, enough about that, another reason why I love elephants is because they are elephants and they need respect. They respect each other by wrapping their trunks together. Maybe elephants are misunderstood. I mean like if people are still poaching them, burning down habitats, and leaving elephants for dead, they must be misunderstood. There are so many things to learn about elephants! So much! Coming up next is something horrible that will happen to elephants.

This is part of my essay that makes you sad. I am going to talk to you about circus work. My issue with circus work is that the people that are playing the circus really beat animals. There have been records about elephants beat in the circus. I don’t think that is right because elephants have a right to be free like us. The number one problem is why elephants are working too hard. One of my connections to this subject is I went to a circus when I was six years old. At the end of the show the whole crowd walked out the circus and saw a dead elephant. I don’t think elephants should work at all. I think elephants should be free living in the wild.

My solution for elephants not getting hurt is not working the circus. Two is to not kill elephants, especially not just for taking their tusks away. Taking the life of an elephant just to get their tusks so a person can carve a necklace out of it is wrong. Now, stop right there. That does not make any sense. Which is more important? A necklace or an elephant? You decide.

My point that I am trying to tell you is that in my opinion, everyone should not hate elephants. I am an elephant lover. You make the choice whether or not you take an elephant’s life or buy ivory jewelry. If you’re not buying it, the people who are selling it may not keep on killing the elephants and maybe one day they will realize that what they are doing is wrong. How can you do that kind of thing to an elephant? You make the decision. Which is more important? A necklace or an elephant? You decide.
