Kalpavanam Elephant Park.
Elephants are very lovely and fascinating creatures. It seems like everyone looks different and has their own characters.
Like humans.
It scared me at the beginning when I saw that they were wearing chains on their feets.
I checked for injuries around chains, but there were none.🙏🏽
But clearly the elephants are working there, constantly loading and unloading the people.
We all had a bad conscience about taking part.
While we were first watching the goings-on, we discussed what should we do?
Phil said that the elephants are not doing badly - on the contrary - they are fed and cared for and they have always worked together with humans in India.
It was fun, but there is still an aftertaste of bad conscience.
I wish they were all free.
Later we saw that some of them were without chains.
The chain is only there for safety - he can walk but not run.
If an elephant is not prone to violence and is well-behaved, it doesn't need it.
That was the best thing: 💗
I took time to feed him and give him love, even though the guards rushed him.
He said thank you 😅
Thanks everyone! <3
Cheers!
