You Don't Need A Bullhook To Control An Elephant

Asian elephants in captivity all share one thing: they were "broken." To humans, this means taught to serve human needs. To an elephant, it means they were put in the crush box, beaten with bull hooks, chained, and then made to "earn" their keep. Even those treated kindly as adults were treated this way to make them tractable and "safe."

Now, we're working with expert Lek Chailert to free elephants from brutal conditions and give them sanctuary.
