On one hand I think ‘good for the elephant’, but the price of standing up for themselves is death ~ maybe that’s a welcome release for them…………………….

But I would IMPLORE anyone, PLEASE do not ride elephants, or for that matter, pet tigers, take pictures with monkeys etc, etc, etc, if you want a close encounter with these animals -V O L U N T E E R – it’s an amazing experience & it’s HELPING animals instead of helping them down a path to certain death !!
