Stop Animal Cruelty - Elephants #shorts

Показать описание
When they’re babies, elephants are taken from their mothers and families in the wild. Because they have a high sale value, not only are babies illegally captured, their protective mothers are also often killed as they try to save them.
“Training” begins immediately. The babies are tied down and beaten with bullhooks and other instruments designed to inflict pain until their spirits are broken and they’re willing to obey their “trainers” to avoid pain. Researchers have found that elephants who are subjected to this “breaking” or “crush” process often develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
Elephants in nature live in matriarchal herds, and they forage for fresh vegetation, play, bathe in rivers, and travel many miles a day together. But in captivity, they have no control over their lives. They can’t choose to socialize with other elephants and are forced to spend long hours chained down, carrying riders on their backs, or performing painful tricks.
Every fairgoer who buys a ticket to ride an elephant or overseas traveler who books an excursion involving captive elephants is responsible for this merciless cycle of abuse.
Elephants deserve to be treated with respect, not shackled and ridden to death.
