Give elephants freedom

Elephants are wild animals that can only be tamed, not domesticated. Attractions that allow interaction between tourists and elephants use cruel, coercive methods such as bullhooks to keep the animals under control. But at elephant-friendly venues, elephants are kept at a safe distance, so bullhooks are not needed.

Venues that make transition to high welfare no longer allow tourists to ride, bath and feed elephants. This transition allows elephants to be free to behave as they would in the wild: free to roam, graze, and bathe in mud, dust, and water. And tourists can experience the wonder from a safe distance. Give this gift and you could help elephant venues transition from low welfare tourist entertainment to high welfare sanctuaries.
