Elephants Assist in Tornado Clean-Up - Neatorama

A Picadilly Circus show was canceled in Joplin, MO following the tornado that recently ravaged the city. Rather than packing up and moving out of town, the circus enlisted the help of its largest performers to help with the clean-up. A volunteer captured this clip of an elephant dragging a car closer to the street so it could be hauled away.

COPY EDIT - Abbreviation for Missouri is MO, not MS.

I'd be more concerned over the glass and nails in the ground hurting the elephant's feet. It looks like it barely took anything for the elephant to move that vehicle. Once it's out of the debris, you can tell that the wheels were turning just fine (for a vehicle having been through a tornado).

Poor elephants!!! They are beaten and forced to perform and now forced to pull stupid cars.

A elephants foot pad is VERY thick. Handlers check them just like horse owners check their horse hoofs.
Rent a buldozer? Right, unlimited supply of equipment to aid them. Maybe you think the buldozers are being used elsewhere?
