The organizer of the International Elephant Polo Competition, and tourism company Tiger Tops,recently announced that it would stop hosting the event in order to take a stand against cruelty to animals. Years ago, London-based Guinness World Records Ltd removed all references to elephant polo from the Guinness World Records books because of the abuse that elephants endure in the game. And the same year, or following discussions with PETA India,Carlsberg Group withdrew its sponsorship of the Polo Cup.
Forcing these battered endangered animals to participate in foolish spectacles is shameful and reprehensible. Thai officials should ban elephant rides and other abusive forms of "entertainment" immediately. meanwhile, if you care approximately elephants, or never take a ride or buy a ticket to any event in which they are exploited for the public’s amusement. var icx_publication_id = 18566; var icx_copyright_notice = '2018 Alternet'; var icx_content_id = '1090604'; Click here for reuse options!
