Protect The Earth+ 3 years, 7 months agoHi, 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.

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!

Hmm… Are they hurting the elephants with the bullock? That sounds like a problem. If they are hurting the elephants, there may be laws in Texas against that. You might be able to report them, but only if they’re breaking the law. Other than that you might just talk to the trainers about them and learn some more about what’s happening. Maybe you…[Read more]

Dear Ecopat, I am so glad you have ideas! But unfortunately there is no humane way to train them. 😔

Hi Emerson! Thank you for sharing. I know. It can be so hard seeing things that seem wrong to us and which are upsetting. It makes me feel a bit better though knowing there are people like you around who care and want to make change.
Does the place have a website? Sometimes there is an email address or a ‘Contact Us’ section on the website. I bet…[Read more]-
Thanks so much! I’ll do that.

EcoPact- A Kid’s Environmental Society 3 years, 8 months agoDid you know that every minute, a small city block’s worth of trees in Canada’s majestic boreal forest is clearcut by one company? It’s probably one you know, too. Procter & Gamble, which own the toilet paper brand Charmin, is doing this. And these trees are old growth, meaning that they are especially good at stopping climate change. The forests…[Read more]
