Why is Ringling removing elephants from the circus?

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus announced Thursday it will phase out the show's iconic elephants from its performances by 2018.

Senh: Jeez, it takes $65K a year to care for each elephant. I wonder how much of that is food, and how much goes to the trainers. I didn't know that Ringling Bros. also does monster truck shows.
