Cruelty towards Elephants

I won't blame elephants for killing people. What this people does to this friend of human beings is quite unbelievable. Many herdsman are known to treat these giant but poor creatures cruelly. Some even for their enjoyment or as a punishment put ants to their nostrils, thus maddening the animal. Live and Let them live.Elephants are made to work under the hot sun for hours dragging heavy logs and all. No rest to them. They also deserve love and sympathy. LIVE AND LET THEM LIVE. What's u'r view? Any justification for these cruelties!

I work for one month with elephants in africa and helped with the transport of 9 to another game reserve. I realised this was being done for money after the event and I was very sadden to see this wonderful family spilt up for profit. There was a park where you could take rides on the elephants addo ele park but I refused point blank to get on one and go for a ride, this was cruel to me and this was not why I was there anyway. All animals are treated bad for money weather it be an elephant or a lion. Zoo's are the worst type of cruelty we allow to go on under our nose's and pay for. Animals of every mind even whales dolphins etc should be allowed to live in the wild where they belong. www.bornfree.com
