Revenge of the Elephants

[Biker 1]

Whilst not wishing harm on my fellow humans, I hate to see animals used basically as slaves. Looks like the elephants had enough: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-49632026/...

Elephants are amazing animals, we spent a day at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand a few years ago, it is amazing how sensitive and gentle they can be.

By your definition horses are slaves too. I would say dogs are slaves as well.

trouble is they have no rights. If they get too uppity they will all get shot.

The clip says it took place at a Buddhist event. You would think they would be against the mistreatment of elephants

All "tame" animals are used as slaves.

The way elephants are treated in these processions sickens me - try watching some with the volume at normal level, the noise must really unsettle and confuse them.

We did last year. Amazing day that I hope to never forget.

not really as most have distorted the teacings to what suits them and there is a shocking amount of abuse of Elephants taking place where they are used for Buddhist festivals and parades a good example is this
