An elephant named Viola recently caused chaos in Butte, Montana, after escaping a circus and roaming the streets on her own. Astonishing video shows the Asian elephant casually walking through a four-lane road in Butte on Tuesday, dodging moving cars on her way towards a casino building. Eyewitness Matayah Smith told Fox News Digital that she was in her car with her husband when she first noticed the majestic creature. She said her husband had alerted her to the elephant.
investigation, Viola was forced to perform even while suffering chronically-swollen feet in 2021. Foundation Director of Captive Animal Welfare Debbie Metzler says that her supplier has been abusing her for decades, and called her escape a 'desperate break for freedom.' ' has submitted an urgent complaint to federal authorities over the circus’s failure to protect Viola and the public from this frightened animal’s attempts to flee her weapon-wielding handler and urges everyone to help elephants like Viola by refusing to buy a ticket to any circus that still forces them to perform.' Metzler said. In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, the circus that owns Viola explained that she was startled by a truck during her routine bath.
Although we are upset that she was scared, we are grateful that she remained calm and no injuries were sustained to her or any other bystanders.' For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews/lifestyle
