Tourists coming to Thailand need to understand one thing?
Elephants are tortured to be able to act around tourists.
Do you understand that?
Do you want to be tortured?
Every single tourist that pays to ride an elephant, bath an elephant or any other un-natural behaviors is directly contributing to this torturous behavior.
YOUR SELFIE IS NOT WORTH IT!
No one really cares about your selfie, more than they care for the welfare of these elephants.
Believe it.
Understand the torture and educate yourself.
DO NOT SUPPORT THIS MADNESS SO YOU CAN MAKE A SELFIE.
