 After Barnum and Bailey announced yesterday that they were going to stop using elephants in their performances due to perceived cruelty, The GOP also announced plans to stop using the Elephant as the symbol of their party.

               

GOP chairman Reince Priebus stated “We are responding to repeated pleas from PETA and other human rights groups to stop making the elephant the symbol of this party. We acknowledge that elephants are smart, caring loving creatures that care for one another, respect their environment and have long memories. It is therefore fitting that we no longer use them to symbolize a party that has none of these attributes. It is therefore our decision to drop this symbol and replace it with one that is more in keeping with our party’s image.”
