Elephants in NYC

Last night was the annual midnight walk of the elephants from Long Island to Madison Square Graden in Manhattan for the PT Barnum and Bailey Circus. From what I understand, the train that they come in is 1 mile long, thus can not be accomodate in any station in in Manhattan. Plus there's a problem of getting them up the escalators. So they get off in Long island City, walk through the Midtown tunnel (under the East River), and walk (trunk to tail) to the Garden. They even swing by Macy's! The video shows not only the elephants but also animal rights activists protesting. I love this city!
