      @@May5359 You do realise that this is very much happening in the United States in the Circuses that still are not banned in US despite being banned everywhere else in the World. The Bailey Brothers & Ringlin Brothers are some of the worst Elephant abusers in the World & should be in Prison but aren't. America is stuck in the dark ages when it comes to Animal Welfare in a very big way

    When I hear the word '' owner '' my blood already starts to boil.
    When you own something that something becomes a '' thing '' and you can do with a '' thing '' as you please.
    That is why we don't say the owner of your children.
    Why then do people use the word '' owner '' for other sentient beings.
    No one can own another sentient being.
    Why are people still use that word ''owner'' .
    Don't people understand that the word carries negative consequences?
    It turns creatures into Property and you can do with property as you like?
    Why do people not understand that?

      Captivity is not conservation, keeping wild animals in the Wild is conservation. Captivity doesn't work for elephants, bulls Hope and Jungle Boy make that clear. We haven't seen any recent video of either of them in multiple years, and Hope's elephant database page makes things clear. The url for that, and for other realities, is posted in my ENP Babes playlist description.

      Incorrect. Did you read the video description? ENP is in Thailand: that's in SE Asia.
      Regardless of what continent you personally choose to talk about, captivity is not conservation, it's captivity. Captivity does Not work for elephants, it does Not allow them the freedom to fulfull their life-purpose and they *require that. By their very nature, they are a *freedom species, and they *cannot thrive without it. They need to live *fully volitional lives, making their own choices, living in Nature with total freedom, with no directives or interference from man. When there is interference, that is where problems are revealed, from their feet being damaged and neglected to being fed a poor diet to being told where to go, to being limited in their need to migrate, to procreation other than by choice with opportunity, raising their families the elephant-way. Man needs to butt out. The fact that ENP elephants have killed their mahouts and are no longer shown in recent videos for years makes that plain if any one would simply care to learn. Captivity is Not "life" for an elephant, regardless of the continent. A true sanctuary does Not interfere with them in their protected lands. Captivity does Not allow the elephant to have what he or she needs. It is man's 1. selfish excuse or 2. poor substitute for what does Not meet his or her needs. They are Not to be commodities, yet they are treated as such, in spite of videos that hide that reality. Investigate!

    • @cacatr4495
      @cacatr4495 2 года назад

      Their owners use them on the street to "beg," meaning that they "sell" fruit (bananas, pineapple) "to" tourists, which is then fed to the elephant, the owner keeping the proceeds to "make a living." This is how they feed the elephant and how they make money for themselves. It is essentially a form of begging.
