Elephants are wild animals who would never willingly give rides to humans. Humans capture baby wild elephants, by killing their mothers and other herd members. The elephants are then put through a process called the "crush", severe abuse, lasting months, which is designed to Crush the elephant's spirit. Then a Bullhook is used to painfully pierce the elephant's tender skin whenever the "trainer" wants the elephant to perform one of these unnatural acts. When you pay to ride elephants, you support these cruel practices. Look up "elephant crush" on the internet, and it will break your heart. Here are some youtube video links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0xSuUXRHnE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZsnKmXDLPo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy9jtX0_LTI, Please do not support the Arizona Renaissance Festival's exploitation of innocent elephants. Urge Jeffery Siegel to refuse to allow these elephants to be used as vehicles for human pleasure. These elephants are not vehicles, they are sacred creations from the Divine Creator, and they have thoughts and feelings. Thank you.
Dear Mr. Jeffery Siegel:
I believe you are a person who deeply cares about all of God's creatures. Therefore I am writing you to ask you to use your power to protect some of God's finest animals! You may not know that elephants are wild animals who would never willingly give rides to humans. Humans capture wild baby elephants, by killing their mothers and other herd members. The elephants are then put through process called the "crush", severe abuse, lasting months which is designed to Crush the elephant's spirit. Then a Bullhook is used to painfully pierce the elephant's tender skin whenever the "trainer" wants the elephant to perform one of these unnatural acts. When you pay to ride elephants, you support this cruel abuse. Look up "elephant crush" on the internet, and it will break your heart.
Now that you know, I am sure you will want to protect these magnificent creatures by refusing to allow elephant rides to be sold at the Arizona Renaissance Festival. Please do not allow the vendors of elephant rides to sell their service at the Ren Festival. Thank you for your time and attention.
