BAN ALL ELEPHANT RIDES IN THAILAND ~~ Please SIGN & SHARE

Whether a baby elephant has been born in captivity or captured from the wild, its mind, body and spirit are first broken through a process called the phajaan. Meaning “crushing”, this ancient technique involves separating calves from their mothers – a highly traumatic experience for these tightly-bonded animals – before being tied down or squeezed into a small space, starved, dehydrated, and beaten repeatedly. Deprived of their natural habitat, chained, and forced to repeat the same the same monotonous routines day in day out, the spiral of torture continues throughout their dramatically-shortened lives.
