Elephants are tortured in all forms of captivity. In temples, tourist ventures, even the "bathe an elephant" elephants are tortured and chained behind the scenes, elephants in rides, circuses, parades, logging etc. They are all severely tortured from baby age, in the name of "training" (research elephant crushing, it's extreme torture, many elephants die) and live cramped, confined, often very lonely always unnatural lives in intense pain, sadness and suffering.
Elephants have a brain 5 times the size of a human, have lived on this Earth for 60 million years, humans have lived here for 300 000 years.
All captive elephants need to be sent to very vast, lush, well monitored, wildlife conservation sanctuaries immidiately and the practice of enslaving elephants must end now.
