I volunteered at what I thought was an elephant sanctuary only to discover they were using abusive practices. From my research, this is the criteria that a business should follow if they have elephant welfare in mind and not profiting off exploitation of animals. The following is what the elephant behavior experts told me, for their physical and mental health, an elephant needs: - to walk 7-14 miles a day (not carrying a chair and people) - to forage for food 16-18 hours a day - not have their activities controlled by humans - have a large natural area where they are free to roam / no chains - not be subjected to a bull hook or ankus for direction or threats - no human interaction of, riding, feeding, bathing - no chains unless for medical treatment Does this place follow these guidelines? If not, they are participating in animal abuse.
