TOURISM IN THAILAND, A HORROR FOR ELEPHANTS
If you or anyone you know is thinking about riding an elephant, attending a circus, a painting show, or visiting an elephant camp, PLEASE take a look at these photos and read the accompanying information.
You may think it'd be a fun experience, but it's NOT fun for these poor, overworked, young elephants.
Elephants in the tourist industry suffer unimaginable pain at the hands of their owners --- all for the sake of so-called entertainment.
As you'll see, they're pretty much all juveniles, and they were stolen from their mothers and herds in the wild in order to break their spirit and live a life of misery for money.

| This picture speaks for itself |
 |
| Look at this BABY! What has she been through!? Starvation, deprivation and torture. |
 |
| All the whitish lines you can see are scars from the hook. The purple is iodine applied to heal the wounds |
 |
| Standing motionless, afraid to move. Look at her eyes |
 |
| She's just a baby, once wild and free, and now chained, being poked, and profoundly sad |

Painting an abstract picture at a camp stating they support conservation doesn't mean the elephant is treated any differently if the painting isn't a flower or a tree. This mahout had a nail in his hand. There were puncture wounds and blood on this elephant too. Why do we need to see elephants paint? Why why why? It is just MORE fun to watch them bathe in the river, play in the mud, walk in the forest, and learn about an elephants natural behaviour, instead of exploiting them. |
ASIAN ELEPHANT-HAIR RINGS --- MORE TORTURE FOR ELEPHANTS!
via SAVE ELEPHANT FOUNDATION
Although considered hairless animals, elephants are born with thick hair. The hair on an elephant calf sheds as the calf grows. The hair is designed to allow elephants to sense the closeness of objects the hair touches rather than to provide warmth.
The tail of an elephant is the area with the thickest hair. Elephants use their tail as a fly swat against insect bites as well as to comfort themselves, pick up water to spread across their bodies to cool off when they swim and to touch each other and show their emotions to their friends and family. Hair is also visible on the head and back of an elephant. Eyelashes provide protection for elephant against unwanted bacteria particles that may cause infection.
Across Asia, people believe that to wear the ring made of elephant hair will bring good luck. The elephant ring has become famous to sell in Thailand’s markets and some elephant camps. Many elephants no longer have hair on their tail. In Thailand, one elephant hair ring costs around 400 Baht. If the ring is made from the eyelashes, the price rises as it is softer and can also be made into a bracelet. Many elephants have lost their tails to the greed of humans and the superstitions that drive them. When an elephant has no hair on their tail, it affects their ability to care for themselves in a natural way. The loss of eye lashes causes infections that may lead to blindness.
Please educate your friends and family to the truth behind the elephant ring. Their lives mean more than a souvenir, don’t support this torture trade.
