We demand CNN stop showing photos or videos of people riding elephants or doing tricks in their travel ads
'We urgently request that you take down the video clips of people riding on elephants in your CNNGo TV advertisement as well as the elephant kicking a ball in the Thailand advertisement. You are a great news channel with a good reputation of caring for not just people but the environment and nature too, and stand up against cruelty. Most people do not realize the unspeakable cruelty and abuse baby elephants have to go through after they have been stolen from their mothers at a very young age, to get to the point of being ridden and doing tricks. The fact that you show it in your advertisements endorses this cruelty, make people think it is ok and perpetuates the situation.
