Elephants are magnificent creatures that have the astounding abilities
to communicate and function as family unitsand societies. Their intelligence is vast and they are compassionate, highly emotional animals. Despite all this, greedy humans target elephants in many ways. Of course, a giant threat to many elephants are poachers and hunters, but for others, the threats are the entertainment and tourism industries.
There are many elephants who are forced to perform unnatural tricks in front of roaring crowds, while others are held captive at zoos, and many more are forced to give rides to tourists on their backs. And the above video shows yet another bizarre way an elephant is exploited and abused for tourism and entertainment — by being forced to lay still in filthy water while showering tourists on her back! The elephant handler is always nearby with weapon in hand to force the elephant to follow orders.
