Alec Baldwin is speaking out again – this time, against trips to the circus.

In a four-minute video on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the outspoken actor urges Americans to boycott Ringling Bros and other circuses because of their inhumane treatment of elephants.

He claims that elephants live very different lives than their wild cousins and from a young age are ‘stretched out, slammed to the ground, gouged with bull hooks, and shocked with electric prods.’

BOYCOTT EVERYTHING MR. BALDWIN DOES OR ADVERTISES! DICK
