For those of you who are confused, heres a backstory.
At first Fluttershy thinks the circus is a bad place for animals, but after a little pep talk from one of the elephant trainers who tells her they train them with words of praise as well as reward and repetitions, Fluttershy fells a bit better knowing the elephants and other animals are in good hands.
It be nice if Flurtershy set the elephants free and took them to a sanctuary.
