These poor creatures are stolen from their families and forced into lives of unendurable suffering. There is one hope, and that is that the laws be enforced so that this will end. Please contact the Elephant Nature Park for more information, or for assistance; they rescue elephants such as the baby in your photo. So sad; she needs help.

What a great story! I laughed aloud at the picture of an elephant with tail lights!

I don't know the real reasons behind this, but I'm sure it's not good enough to risk the poor creatures' lives. :( I'm glad u are ok and didn't hit the elephant. :) There are lots of elephants in Bangkok too.
