Don’t ride the elephants

Elephant rides are available, with large crowds of tourists gathering around waiting their turn. Don't do it, regardless of how badly you want to. Those creatures go through unspeakable suffering, and contributing to the demand is unacceptably cruel. Young elephants are separated from their moms, confined, and abused in order to crush their spirits and make them suitable for riding. It's revolting.

The way elephants are ‘broken in’ for tourists to ride is truly horrific. Please don't ride them, I can't say it strongly enough. Education is the key here, so learn about why it’s not okay and then share it with others so they can learn the truth about this horrible industry for themselves. Interested in seeing
