Rampaging Circus Elephant Causes Chaos in Montana Town

Viola, an escaped circus elephant, caused a stir in Butte, Montana, as she wandered through traffic and parking lots after being startled by a truck backfiring during her bath. The elephant, part of the Jordan World Circus, was quickly recaptured without any injuries to herself or bystanders. The incident has prompted an investigation by PETA, who filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, while locals handled the situation calmly, keeping a safe distance until Viola was guided back to the circus.
