Arna was the subject of a Cruelty Case against Stardust circus There was a cruelty cage brought against Stardust circus - the grounds for the case are firstly that both the NSW Government and Stardust Circus were in breach of Standards for Exhibiting Circus Animals in NSW in that they permitted the keeping of a solitary elephant. And secondly that Stardust Circus committed an act of cruelty in that they authorised the visit of three elephants from another circus and then without warning removed the elephants, causing enormous distress to ARNA. ARNA's response to the visiting elephants and her anguish when they were taken away were captured on video and this video is an important item of evidence in this case. Back to Photo Gallery
