Elephant Riding? Don't Support it.

in #elephants6 years ago (edited)

Have you ever seen the beautiful pictures on instigram or facebook of the gorgeous girls in bikinis riding eliphants in Thailand or somwhere in Africa? I have. You may think that this is a simply fun activity causing no harm, but in truth, you are supporting animal abuse. Sadly most eliphants who are at these facilities where toursits are able to ride them and take pictures with them are chained and tortured all their lives.

So please, next time you hear a friend talk about going to Thailand wanting to ride eliphants, let them kow the truth of what these incredible animals go through for people to take their selfies with them.

Dont believe me? here's some proof.
