ʻOiai ke pāpaʻi nei ka ʻelepani kamepiula nani i kona mau pepeiao i pena ʻia, pono kākou e hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻomau mau ana nā ʻelepani maoli a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe he nui i ka honua ma ka inoa o ka leʻaleʻa, me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā hōʻike TV. Ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) i ke alakaʻi ʻo Tim Burton i kēia a koi aku iā ia e hāʻawi i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i kahi hopena hou a me ke kanaka ma o ka koi ʻana iā Dumbo a me kona makuahine e pakele i ka hana hoʻomāinoino a me ka hoʻohana ʻana ma Hollywood a ola i ko lākou mau lā i kahi malu - ma laila, kahi i hoʻohana ʻia ai nā ʻelepani maoli i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me ka TV. Hauʻoli ʻo PETA i ka ʻōlelo ʻana e hana ana nā mea a pau o ke ao holoʻokoʻa o Burton e like me ka mea e pono ai no Dumbo a me kona makuahine. Mai hoʻopunipuni ʻoe - e uē mau ana ʻoe i ka nānā ʻana.
E like me nā mea hana o Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and the upcoming remake of The Lion King, hoʻohana ʻo Burton i ka hoʻoponopono kiʻi kōkua kamepiula e hōʻike i nā elepani makua nani, like me ke ola, a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe e like me ka monkey, bear a me nā ʻiole, ʻo ia hoʻi kēia mau mea. ʻAʻole pono nā holoholona e ʻeha - ʻaʻole ma ka set, ʻaʻole hoʻi ma hope o nā hiʻohiʻona. “ʻOiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole mākou elepani maoli i kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ua loaʻa iā mākou nā poʻe maikaʻi me nā kiʻi kamepiula nāna i hana kilokilo. Haʻaheo loa au i koʻu noho ʻana i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni Disney e hoʻolaha ana i nā circuses holoholona ʻole. ʻIke ʻoe, ʻaʻole pono nā holoholona e noho pio, "wahi a Eva Green, kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani pila.
Ma waho aʻe o ka wehe ʻana e pili ana i nā pono holoholona ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ma nā nīnauele ma waho o ka pale, ʻo Burton a me kāna mau mea hoʻokani pila e kamaʻilio nui e pili ana i kā lākou kākoʻo i nā holoholona a no ke aha lākou e ʻae ʻole ai i ka ʻoihana circus. “He ʻakaʻaka, akā ʻaʻole au makemake loa i ka circus. Ke hoʻomāinoino ʻia nei nā holoholona i mua ou, aia i mua ou nā mea make make, aia nā clowns i mua ou. Ua like ia me kahi hōʻike weliweli. He aha kāu makemake ma ʻaneʻi?” Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tim Burton.
Me ka nani o nā hoʻonohonoho a me nā stunts, ʻo Dumbo hoʻi e lawe mai i ka ʻaoʻao ʻeleʻele o ka circus, mai ke ʻano o Michael Keaton i manaʻo e hoʻohana iā Dumbo i nā koina āpau, i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa a me ka ʻeha i loaʻa i nā holoholona ke koi ʻia lākou e hana i nā hana hoʻohenehene. . ʻOiai ua loaʻa kekahi mau lanakila hou i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā holoholona mai lalo o ka dome, ʻaʻole ia he mea hōʻoluʻolu i nā pōpoki nunui, nā bea, nā ʻelepani a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe e hoʻopio ʻia nei a hana ʻino ʻia i nā circuses a puni ka honua. "Hōʻike ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni e pili ana i ka hana ʻino o ka circus i kēia manawa, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā holoholona," ʻo Colin Farrell, kekahi o nā mea hana nui ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni.
Ma ko lākou wahi noho maoli, noho pū nā ʻelepani makuahine a me nā keiki no ke ola, a ʻaʻole haʻalele nā keiki kāne i ko lākou makuahine a hiki i ka wā ʻōpio. Akā ʻo ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o nā makuahine a me kā lākou pēpē he mea maʻamau ia i nā ʻoihana āpau kahi e hoʻohana ʻia ai nā holoholona. ʻO kēia manawa hoʻokaʻawale ka hiʻohiʻona ʻeha loa i ka Dumbo kumu a me ka remake. (E hoʻolohe iā "Baby Mine," ke mele weliweli loa ma ka moʻolelo Disney.) Manaʻo mākou e hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka poʻe nānā i kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni e ka moʻolelo o Mrs. Jumbo a me kāna pēpē e hoʻōki i ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā hale hana lokoino e hoʻomau nei i ka luku ʻana i nā ʻohana holoholona no ka loaʻa kālā. .
Ma hope o 36 mau makahiki o ka PETA kūʻē, ua pani paʻa ka Ringling Bros. a me Barnum & Bailey Circus i ka makahiki 2017. Akā ʻo nā circuses ʻē aʻe e like me Garden Bros. Ua lilo ʻo Garden Bros i ke kumuhana o kahi hōʻino hou me ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka hahau ʻino ʻana i nā elepani ma mua o ka hele ʻana i ke kahua.
Māmā, Kāmeʻa, Hana!
