That's so sweet of you to say, Sofia. Thank you! That villa is really the most amazing escape from everything. Staying on a farm is sooooo calming, you'll love it. Would be fun with a bunch of friends or family.
We got excited when we saw your video as we didn’t know this place was so close to KL. Unfortunately, having looked into the website and pictures this is NOT a sanctuary at all - see the link here from PETA www.peta.org/features/how-to-tell-real-elephant-sanctuary-no-abuse/. You can clearly see the ‘riders’ of the elephants holding bullhooks and it certainly doesn’t look like anything PETA describe as a sanctuary 😕
Yes and I’m afraid I don’t buy it. In a sanctuary elephants shouldn’t have to do a ‘show’, have you read what PETA say? This place is far from a sanctuary.
@@ianjo3371 I spent hours one-on-one talking with their team -- many of whom have been there for decades -- and they are doing the best they can with the space and budget they have. I prefer sanctuaries like Elephant Nature Park in Thailand personally, Lek is a true inspiration to me. And the team understands the perceptions of everything you mentioned, I had the same concerns and they hear it all the time and know it's time for change. Little by little they will change things there.... I'm excited to see what they do and have high hopes they are on their way to a being a true sanctuary by international standards.
I've been there two times. This is not a circus where most of the animals were tortured. This is ethical elephants sanctuary. No elephants were harmed, in fact they were rescued instead. Most of them are wild elephants.
I super love your vlog, Im like you I travel solo, and been looking for this place finally i know where to go next...

You listened to my full disclosure statement about those 2 things?

When are they going to stop the elephant shows? Start changing to an ethucal sanctuary by stopping the shows now.
should let them let them free in elephant nation park, not just in the bigger cage and no more ride
I really hope this is an ethical sanctuary. I am from KL. Are the elephants in good condition? Any bullhook or hooked chains marks?

Muudri
Say no to elephant rides, bathing & performance. Stop the use of bullhooks .
Have you tended wild elephants?
