Some people have no idea about what an elephant is a elephant sanctuary is the chain is something that has to be used for the safety of the human beings that are taking care of them these elephants are not in a circus 🎪 the man who take care of them are masters in srilanka to handle elephants 🐘 it’s easy for you to put negative comments My country suffered from a civil war for 30 years many elephants were wounded from mine bombs places like this helps them a lot
A real elephant sanctuary does not use chains, bull hooks, and prohibits any riding of any animals. If you actually do research and educate yourself you would find that real ethical elephant sanctuaries exist, in which they do not put these practices that you see in place.
Just as an added thought, if you have children would you chain them and use bullhooks to make sure you and they were safe and they did not disobey you? If not, why not? We should respect all life surely?
Hi nykermnh, I'm Domenico, the producer of this video. You can find more information about Millennium Elephant Foundation on their website: millenniumelephantfoundation.com/
If I wear a chain around my neck it is my personal choice and for my own vanity. Why would an elephant, or any other animal, have a chain around it's neck except to make sure it "does as it is told". Elephants can be kept within a large a large area for their own safety yet still be free to roam. I understand some elephants are used to, and maybe even enjoy, associating with humans but they should not be controlled with chains or hooks.
That wound!! ,poor animal sad Thid is the how this people hurting .poor animal ,this animal havento suffering with that wound forever ,cruel heartless human 😭😭😭
Chains and hooks at an elephant "sanctuary"? This is not a sanctuary, this is a prison. Maybe you guys should change to ethical practices, or better yet surrender your elephants to a real sanctuary.
@DIW Yes, I have seen the size of these animals thank you. I have also recognized that these animals should not be used for human entertainment. You should probably research and look more into an actual ethical sanctuary because they exist, and this isn't it. And sure, be selfish and use these animals for the purpose of making money, but maybe dont label your practice as "ethical" because it's clearly not. There are actually many ethical sanctuary's that exist, you just have to do your research. And guess what, they don't use hooks, chains, and prohibit any riding of the animals, aka ethical!
TAKE THOSE CHAINS OFF!!! IF THEY ARE FREE...LET THEM BE FREE!!!! DONT USE A STICK TO CONTROL THEM! If you treat them with respect they will respect you back, build loving relationship with you and follow you at you at your voice, WILLINGLY!!!’ STOP THE FOOLISHNESS!! STOP THE SLAVERY AT YOUR ADVANCEMENT
I saw the elephant keeper hit that innocent guy with his stick. That’s so cruel. Please tell them not to hurt them because it’s really sad to watch the video like that.
Maybe this is the kind of place we should all volunteer to work at. Take off the chains, destroy the bull hooks and stop the rides. There is no excuse for this evil treatment in the 21st Century. How would the mahouts feel being dragged by a chain and stabbed with a bull hook? Makes me wonder if those injuries are inflicted. Owner, do the humane thing please.
