Does Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus really mistreat animals?

Went to the circus last week and their were protesters who said they do. Is this true?

Honestly it really depends on who you talk to. There are animal rights people who say 100% yes and there are others who say they do not. I can say that most of the people I have heard argue that they do abuse them have never worked with elephants... so I am not sure how much stock I take in that.
