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

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

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

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 😢🐘

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