Please be advised we have been notified that Walker Brothers Circus is using 
elephants Tina and Jewel from the Clyde Beatty Circus.  Walker Brothers does 
not have  a USDA permit, they just rent animals.  If there is any complaints 
with elephants notify the USDA Animal Care that it is the Clyde Beatty - Cole 
Brothers Circus animals. 

If there are any other animals try to find owners name before reporting.

I-SPEAK has sent complaints already to the USDA.  They do not have any 
schedule for them, due to the no permit status.  We would appreciate being informed 
if you notice were they will be several days before they get there.  

Note - Jewel should not be doing any rear leg lifts per her veterinarian  
advisor due to bulge by tail base.  Last year a handler for Tina had been noticed 
to have black tape over ankus point he slides down when he wants to use sharp 
points, causing bleeding.  Pictures of foot nails would be appreciated so we 
can evaluate present conditions of feet.

Humanely  I-SPEAK
