An elephant has recently died by taking tourists to the Angkor Wat in Cambodia in a 40C (104 F) heatwave.
The tour operator has pledged to reduce elephants' working hours until temperatures drop but this is not enough.
The elephants suffer hidden cruelty and a lifetime of misery to amuse tourists and have no life at all.
They are an endangered species and yet people still persist in abusing them and lessening their numbers more.
This wicked practice needs to be stopped.
For the APSARA Authority,
Although there has been an agreement to lessen the elephants working hours during the scorching hot weather thousands believe this is not enough.
These endangered animals are be made to suffer for the sake of 'amusement' and are given no life at all.
It is inhumane to treat them in this manner and the practice of using them for the sake of tourism needs to end.
Please support us in this effort.
