The elephants are leaving the #Festivalofelephantabuse grounds but not without further cruelty! Watch how the old bull elephant is stabbed with a knife🗡️ at the end 😭 #Laos

Elephants covered in wounds, bullhooks piercing elephant skin & nails stabbed into elephants everywhere you turn! THIS IS the #FestivalOfElephantAbuse #Laos @aseantoday.bsky.social

What happened to the Buddhist precept of 'Do no harm' ? Why is animal cruelty celebrated in a predominantly Buddhist nation? Check out the elephant's wounds from the hook! 😢 #Laos #Festivalofelephantabuse

A diet of mainly unhealthy sugarcane, little rest, constant abuse. The #Festivalofelephantabuse #Laos is HELL for elephants @aseantoday.bsky.social

See how the mahout presses the hook into the elephant's flesh to force compliance?

Everyone loves baby elephants...except in #Laos 🇱🇦 ! How can a nation be so cruel & uncaring?

Poor elephant makes a run for it from the cruel 'Elephant Care Park' in Phuket, Thailand. A dreadful venue where elephants are exploited to entertain tourists 😢 The elephant was eventually recaptured and returned to her terrible existence 😢🐘

The only current option for the Karachi 🐘🐘 is to improve in situ care. Of all those spreading blame & hate about Four Paws, none has been able to answer this… If not Four Paws then who else will help the Karachi elephants❓❓❓ #Karachi2 #Pakistan

6 elephant calves sold by rogue state Myanmar to a notoriously CRUEL and abusive RUSSIAN CIRCUS . DISGUSTING! What use is CITES? #CircusHell #CircusCruelty

Washing/bathing elephants whilst on holiday is as unethical and cruel as riding not to mention UNSAFE as this Spanish girl tragically discovered www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
