Why not ride an elephant in Thailand?

A foreign animal protection organization, Fighters Against Cruelty to Animals, published some contents, exposing the extremely cruel and unknown dark side of Southeast Asian countries in training elephants, hoping to appeal to people to stop riding elephants and give poor elephants a sound life.

Training an elephant is a "barbaric act". When the elephant is 3-6 years old, the trainer will take it away from the mother elephant, isolate it in a narrow pigsty, and tie the elephant's limbs with ropes to make it difficult to move.

Besides beating them and starving them, they also ridiculously refused to let the elephants sleep.

Interested viewers may find that the elephant trainer will hold a tip stick in his hand. This sharp weapon called "ox hook" is specially designed for training elephants.

▼

It will make the baby elephant feel pain,

So as to control their behavior.

▼

If the animal trainer meets a very stubborn, determined and disobedient elephant, they usually "take heavy medicine", constantly increase punishment and torture, and finally kill the elephant alive, which is very cold-blooded.

Every time I see a news report that only attacks humans, most people who don't understand think that elephants are violent, but in fact elephants are gentle and docile by nature. They are tortured by body and mind for years, which will lead to mental breakdown and attack human beings to vent their anger. The initiator of all this is the most selfish human being!

There are even more cruel pictures.

I can't bear to let it go. ...

"After paying the money, a dark-skinned Thai boy rode on the elephant's head and drove the elephant to the starting point with heavy steps. At that time, my friends and I found that the elephant seemed to be struggling and walking slowly. Suddenly, we had a feeling that it was wrong to come by ourselves. We all frowned and didn't know what to do.

The money has also been paid, and the weight of our two girls should be ok. "We comfort ourselves so much that we dare not want an elephant. We think that after asking, they will stick an elephant with a pickaxe and blame him for not serving food, so we just want to sit on it and finish eating quickly.

At that time, I thought it was hard to watch the elephant's hard pace, and then we bought bananas to feed it. Its eyesight doesn't seem to be very good either. The elephant's nose wiped my hand several times and didn't touch the banana. Later, I asked Brother Xiaohei to know that elephants are 45 years old (the first time I got close to elephants, I found that their bodies were not as tall as those seen on TV), and I felt that elephants were hard and hard. "

The 45-year-old elephant trudged along with us on its back. I feel that I can't stick to it every step of the way. When it reached an uphill place, the elephant seemed unable to climb. The young man began to poke it in the head with a sharp hoe. I felt particularly uncomfortable at that time, and my emotions were out of control and I cried.

The little brother in front obviously heard the sobbing behind him and asked me in surprise what happened when I came back. I told him not to hit the elephant with that tool. Be gentle. I told him that this elephant is so pitiful. I want to end this project ... "
