Elephant Handler
This picture was taken behind were all the circus animals where kept. The animals belonged to the Ringling Bros. Circus. At the time there were in Ontario, CA. There were elephants, tigers, zebras, Miniature horses, and a few other breeds of horses. The horses and zebras were kept in 10ft x 10ft stalls. There were two horses per stall. There were smaller stalls for the Miniature horses, but they seemed to fit them well. There were two big containers that had separate cages in them for the tigers. The tigers had a ledge in each cage that they could jump up onto. Each cage had a water bowl that an employee would fill up with a hose. Most of the tigers had access to some shade but others were forced to stay in the hot sun. The elephants were kept in a small enclosure on the cement. An electric rope was used to keep the elephants in place…. at least they were not chained or tethered.
Here you see the elephants and horses walking down the street to the train. The train was two miles away and the police had to block all the streets so cars could not get pass.
