i'm of course myself against this, also want the awful disgusting truth of this to be seen, and more discussed in the media


anyone else who has enough of this animal abuse, was just today again on our breakfast news, some shocking new footages too by WAP (World Animal Protection)

[Smithy]

Against, I can’t see a reason why anybody would be for that

[arista]

Typical of Asia
Evil taking them away from their mothers.

They are not going to change.

[joeysteele]

Against 100%

[Nicky91]

good of WAP to send someone undercover into that business, also quite risky to expose them like that

i mean ok if it is a tradition to ride on elephants there in Asia, i mean we ourselves got horses to ride on


but beating them, and most awful ways of ''training'' is just sickening, also poor baby elephants first taken away from mother then brutally beaten :(

Against...**** the people who treat these poor animals like this, and **** the tourists who allow there to be a market for this.

[Cherie]

Holidaying...we say holidays ..we are not mini America :smug:

[Kazanne]

Against 100% ,and also wish tourists would not encourage it by wanting to ride on these animals (or any animal tbh) or go to a circus,it's time we woke up to the suffereing animals endure for the entertainment , vanity and appetites of the human race when we don't need any of it to survive.
