“…Animal Defenders International released disturbing videos showing the owners, Kari and Gary Johnson, and the other trainers at Have Trunk Will Travel, repeatedly beating and electrically shocking their elephants, including Tai, the “star” of Water for Elephants. Where was AHA when this abuse was going on?”

Right after Robert Pattinson sees his dead parents, it hard cuts to a close-up of him vomiting.
