Hi, I live in Austin, and there’s this place right outside of Austin that have these really amazing asian elephants, but there making them do tricks, and shows for people. All the trainers have a bullock in their hand, which they refer to as a “guide” for the elephants. I really want to help the elephants, but I’m not sure how. Any ideas???
Okay,first you’ve GOT to spread awareness to people and talk about it as much as possible and post it on social media. Once people know,the animal lovers will do all they can to save them. Try to raise money with some good people interested and try to help the elephants.
You can also join my group Refuse to Ride! Helping elephants.
Thanks so much, I’ll do that. I’ve had no ideas on the issue, and you posted.
Sorry, meant keep you posted.
I thought about what you and one other Roots and Shoot group said about the issue, and I came with a plan. First I’ll spread awareness, like you said. After enough people are aware, I will look into the laws, and see if there’s any laws about it. If I can’t find any laws they’re not following I will talk to the trainers about the bullock and elephants (the elephants were captured from the wild, with the organization Have Trunk Will Travel, look into it). Once all this is completed I will send a letter, and last I will probably protest. Please tell me if there is any thing I should add or not do. Thanks!!
Sorry,I meant project, not group.
Great idea!! There is a group called wildlife sos (they have offices in USA too). They help elephants so maybe they can help. You can contact them on Facebook or email them. Good luck!
