Domesticating wild animals goes against right conduct and right livelihood .

Stupid being stupid..These animals have got born in the elephant stables and got over 2000 years they have been domesticated. What is wrong is to bring from the jungle . If so even dogs cattle, horses , sheep, pigs , Chicken ,cats , ducks should be not domesticated as they were once upon a time in the wild .

A elephant capatured, bound in chains to entertain a few tourists is really a heartwarming scene.

Humans Should also try Being Caged / Chained Up Monday, 25 March 2024 12:19 PM

Absolutely. Everyone human appreciating to see animals in cages and in chains should themselves try doing it for a week or two. I hope from that experience, they will definitely free these captured animals because of the guilty conscious.

A heartwarming sight no doubt. On one hand we are proudly showing off these elephants to tourists and earning much needed tourist dollars while on the other hand we are killing these majestic animals in large numbers daily by electrocution so that we can live happily on this planet ever after.

Dinesh, Sandy ... I totally agree with you. In the bad old days, there were world-famous circuses like Ringling Bros. and Barnum
