    TW: This episode contains graphic depictions of abuse and animal suffering. Please listen with caution.

    Hey Rebels. We're talking about Mary The Elephant and the cruel decision by her circus enslavers to hang her publicly for killing her handler Red Eldrich in 1916.

    We hope this brings awareness about the story, or if you have heard about Mary before, share this with some friends to help keep the awareness surrounding suffering in circuses at the forefront of the animal activism movement.

    Here's this week's news article:
