Oh gosh. Please leave the innocent elephants alone. They don’t deserve to be put through this archaic nonsense, amidst all the noise from cracking whips, firecrackers and whatever else have you. These animals are sensitive and extremely emotional. Such cruelty on display and most of what is hidden from the public’s eye, is what a sadistic, uncouth, barbaric and heartless society enjoys. This should be banned and it is a crying shame that this practice still continues today. Do whatever the hell you want, just leave out the innocent animals that have no voice to express their pain and suffering. Dogs as well as elephants are going through immense suffering in this country. Not one single politician, president, government or anyone in a place of power, has done anything to address the plight of our dogs and elephants. A damn shame indeed.

The unscrupulous and barbaric people in charge of these peraheras simply won't budge from their cruel rituals, which is a gross mistreatment of the majestic elephants, dressing them in silly capes and electric lights and then herding them through crowds of people making deafening noise. Finally put an end to this cruelty to animals and punish those responsible.
