“A 14-year battle over the care of circus elephants belonging to Feld Entertainment ended Thursday with the Humane Society of the United States and others paying a $15.75 million settlement.
“The lawsuit stems from a suit the Humane Society filed against Feld, parent company of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, over the care of its 43 Asian elephants.
“The settlement already follows $9.3 million that the American Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals paid in 2012 for its connection to false claims against Feld in U.S. District Court in Washington.”

(They lied? Animal defenders lied? I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.)

CNN headline: “Animal rights group pays settlement in circus elephant case.”
"’After more than a decade of litigating with Feld Entertainment, the ASPCA concluded that it is in the best interests of the organization to resolve this expensive, protracted litigation,’ said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres in the statement.”
(A lot of lawyer talk there.)
