Elephants are NOT Circus Performers

  • van: Animal Advocates
  • ontvanger: Thailand Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Mr. Chote Trachu
As the country's national symbol, you would expect the people of Thailand to show nothing but respect for their elephants. But the once-majestic beasts are clearly still viewed by some as mere circus performers.

The park has 42 elephants trained to ride bicycles, play football, basketball, bowling and to dance by "zookeepers".

Exploiting the elephants this way is animal cruelty. We ask that you retire these elephants to a sanctuary where they can lead a live of normal elephant behavior in natural surroundings.
