It’s beautiful to see this kind of empathy and compassion for these vulnerable, injured and formerly abused elephants; it’s right to simply care about them because they are obviously intelligent and social beings who mourn their dead, sometimes staying for many many days at a time with the remains of one of their friends. I can’t look at that behavior and ignore it or dismiss it, it looks and feels too much like the way we grieve and suffer when we lose people and pets that we love. So to show these animals some respect and support is deserved. They’ve been through too much injustice and pain at the hands of some humans. I don’t want to see them be miserable, and afraid of all of us - these elephants deserve to be protected them from their previous, bad human captors, and rehabilitated as best as they can. Hopefully they can be happy as they live out the rest of their lives, with a little piano music now and then. 🐘 🤍

I just love how elephants are unaware of their physical size and act like babies....they are such beautiful creatures. My experience in Thailand where they provide elephant rides I could see how sad they look forced against their will, I chose to feed them with the money that usually the mahout charges for the rides.

[@taylorh5549]

Good on you for recognizing that! Too many people still believe it's an okay thing to do and have little regard for the elephant or don't realize that the elephant has been broken. Bull hooks are nasty weapons and I hope that elephant rides don't exist in the future

[@solar0wind]

Are elephant rides in general bad? Horses often enjoy carrying a person on their backs, as long as they have fun and are treated well, and don't have to walk around in circles all the time. Okay, usually horses that are used to teach beginners at riding schools aren't often that happy, but when they bond with someone most are happy doing it. Is it similar for elephants? That it's okay for a few people to ride on them, but not commercially?

[@peterdunne2756]

Taylor h I was in Thailand to and those sticks with the spikes in them to control them are fuckin sick

[@queenb2646]

I understand that some animals can carry loads like donkeys, horses and elephants. But my question to you as a human if your capacity is to carry 10 kgs of load and if I pile you with more than you capacity. You will speak it out. The poor animal has no speech and if he/she cries they are hit with a stick. And we live in a world of technology why use these animals...send them in their own habitat, the universe put them their and they will know to fend for themselves. If I had an elephant like in certain parts of kerela they have elephants only the mahouts ride it and people can come there play with them and give them baths. No rides at all. And even if the elephant is capable of riding they will push it to its extreme.

[@ciaohowdy7005]

The problem is the breaking (physically and mentally) of baby elephants to accept their fate of logging or giving rides. It's truly monstrous, I dont understand how men can live with themselves. They literally torture the elephant to break its spirit. When you go on an elephant ride you support that practice. I strongly encourage you to google it and I think you'll understand.

[@JadoDog]

We feed the squirrels too, with raw in-shell peanuts. The blue jays hear us outside in the backyard and they come flying in and land on the patio roof and hop around making noise until I throw a peanut onto the grass for THEM and then, they launch off the patio roof and go right to that ONE peanut, out of all the others on the grass, pick it up - sometimes without landing - they just fly over and snatch it up and off they go to hide it. Then they come back and ask for more. It's fun.
