Karachi Zoo and Safari Park in Pakistan wanted some African elephants. Their previous elephant - chained for over 20 hours a day, kept in a woefully inadequate enclosure, dominated and trained to give rides - had died. So in June, Karachi Zoo got four

The exploiting of elephant should be stopped. We are loosing a battle here with these people wanting elephants to be humiliated for fun. Is is not strange that these huge creatures are "trained" by small humans and it clearly tells me that they are tortured and abused to become so submissive.

Oh geez, how does this happen? Who thinks this is a good idea? Who approves this? I have such strong feelings about this, but here in the US some people must still go to circuses because they are still holding and abusing elephants in this country. It would be great if we could immediately move all the elephants in the US to sanctuaries and then have some credibility to go get up in Pakistan's face about elephants. I would really like to see this end and enjoy watching people leave animals alone except for protecting ecosystems and habitat.
