Riding elephants especially on pavement injures their spine and the elephants are usually chained when not carrying people. I hope the baby has a better future.

Sorry to be a wet blanket

I was thinking the same thing when I posted the video.

I wish all elephants were living in large protected outdoor refuges.

Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe are known for their elephant refuges and conservation efforts.

It's encouraging.

They are intelligent and wonderful
