A TRAINER AT NAMUANG SAFARI PARK BEATS AN ELEPHANT WITH HIS HOOK OR ANKUSH TO FORCE HIM TO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR TOURISTS! THE ELEPHANT CRIES OUT IN PAIN, HIS CRIES ARE UNBEARABLE TO HEAR, YET THE BEATING CONTINUES AND THE PUBLIC? THE PUBLIC SEEMS TO ENJOY THE CRUEL "SHOW" NOBODY IS REACTING! NOBODY SEES THE PAIN, THE FEAR, THE HUMILIATION OF THAT POOR CREATURE. THIS IS ONLY ONE EXAMPLE OF THE ABUSE THE ELEPHANTS HAVE TO DEAL WITH. THIS AND OTHER TRICKS HAPPEN ON DAILY BASIS. ALSO ALL THEIR OTHER ANIMALS ARE MISTREATED AND USED FOR HUMAN AMUSEMENT: MONKEYS, CROCODILES, TIGERS....
WE DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE INSPECTION BY FOREST OFFICIALS, FOLLOWED BY TRANSLOCATION OF THESE ANIMALS TO A BETTER PLACE, TO A SANCTUARY OR WILDLIFE RESERVES. ALSO AN IMMEDIATE CHECK UP OF THEIR HEALTH BY INDEPENDENT VETS, AND TREATMENT OF THEIR OBVIOUS WOUNDS! THESE ANIMALS CERTAINLY HAVE WOUNDS AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES WHEN THEY ARE TREATED IN THIS CRUEL WAY.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE AS WELL:
This is why you must NEVER support elephants in captivity in Thailand - dont ride on them or watch them perform tricks and they are 'broken' and 'beaten' into submission so they are obedient to humans, this poor elephants spirit is gone..he could crush that man on his back but instead he takes him hitting a sharp hook into his head until he kicks a ball for tourists -
NEVER VISIT SHOWS WITH WILD ANIMALS BEING EXPLOITED! NEVER RIDE AN ELEPHANT, NEVER PAY TO SEE ELEPHANTS PLAY FOOTBALL, PAINT, DANCE, DOING TRICKS...
