They selfishly shoveled their overly buttered popcorn and sugared clouds into their faces as they watched every animal take their trained toll in front of the crowd. The audience cheered and laughed maniacally as they watched the Lion Tamer hold an old fashion stool in the direction of a scared lion cowering in the corner, unsure and unhappy. The Lion Tamer held a whip strongly in his hand and occasionally let it cut through the air in the direction of the lion. Several minutes later the crowd seems tired of the lion and ready for something else that radiates exciting for their, otherwise, boring lives. Children stood on their seats as loud thump is heard and tusks are in sight. The audience spreads with gasps of delight as African bush calf is lead into the center of the risers along with the mother of the calf. It is announced that if you pay a small extra you can pet the elephant calf that is covered in old, colorful carpet. The children turn to their current guardians and beg for the delight of petting such a thing. Every guardian sighed in defeat and the children ran up with extra cash to pet the elephant. The mother African bush elephant is getting anxious with strangers gathering around her young. Out of pure panic the mother charges with her tusks, coincidentally stabbing children.

They aimed and fired at what they suspected was the dangerous target, the panicked mother African bush elephant.
