To all the people giving uninformed negative comments: These elephants are from the elephant orphanage. These are orphaned, sick, hurt or over domesticated elephants, who are unable to be rehabilitated into the wild. They spend their lives here, fed, treated and cared for. The elephants here get taken to the nearby river every day to bathe. Elephants shouldn’t just be washed with a hose, it makes them happy to go into the water. The elephant orphanage doesn’t have direct access to the river, so they’re walked through public roads (which gets closed to traffic at this time every day, just for them) to the river. These are not pets, these gentle giants are also several tonnes of pure power, which can crush a person without much effort. Some of these are very dangerous, so they are chained, so that they can’t run amok and cause great death and destruction. Keep in mind that they are still taken to the river, with their 100 or so strong herd by only a handful of people. If one elephant runs amok, the whole herd can stampede, and many men, women and children might be killed within minutes. The people who are being labeled in the comments as their ‘abusers’ and those ‘working them’ like ‘livestock’ are infact their overworked and underfunded caretakers. The mahout sticks they carry, their only defense, can be hurtful to the elephants ears, can’t cause much damage. They are not hit by the stick, and in any case, the elephant skin is tough and several inches thick, so even if they get hit by a stick, they’ll barely feel it.
Heavy penalty for those who breaks the law ..I live in Canada 🇨🇦. ,we have laws. we obey them or we pay the consequences. If your law does not protect the elephant , change the law ...
I wish they would outlaw hunting for trophy! I hate to see them standing there like they really did something great 😡😭🐘 I also saw a picture of a woman standing next to the giraffe she just killed 😡😡😡🦒 I can't stand to see any animal, child, or elderly person be hurt!

Deborah Tawadros, both of you dont know what is happening here. This is an orphanage for injured and abandoned elephants. The new ones are put in chains until they learn the regular routine. If not for this place all those elephants would have died in the wild, which is a hefty loss considering the low numbers of the Sri Lankan elephants.
There is a point where putting them down is the more humane thing to do. This elephant must have lost it's limb quite early in life. It put such strain on it's remaining front leg that it grew crooked. The relieving posture it uses to walk sends shivers down my spine. Making this animal walk up and down this dangerous slope is cruel. Now imagine 40+ years of this torture.
Darijan R They are doing more than you could imagine! There's a 3 yr old who has a prosthetic leg. He's doing great. These men & women work tirelessly 24/7 when the Elephants first come to the orphanage. Your reaction is normal. Google Elephant Parade . it will make you smile.
Shame on these awful Sri Lankan people for holding these beautiful elephants captive and controlled...chaining a few of the elephants, riding them and using sharp poke sticks...they all look underweight and fearful of the humans with poke sticks. The disabled one with the missing foot is heartbreaking to witness his struggle. So sad and an awful example of humans being their worst to God's majestic creatures. Shameful...I know 2 people who visited this so called "orphanage" and they said it is a wretched place and an awful life for these animals....they should be allowed to live free.
Hi bdv3360, this is a Elephant orphanage. Sri Lankans don't torture animals. In year 1880, there were 100,000 Elephants in Sri Lanka, now only 3,000. Sri Lanka, then Ceylon was a British colony. Sri Lankan Elephants were killed by British as a sport. One Britisher killed over 1000 Elephants. Torturing animals is a very European thing. 70% of Sri Lankans are Buddhists, they will never kill animals or torture them, it is in their DNA.

Many ignorant comments. A few wise ones. This an orphanage for neglected , abandoned , and infirm elephants. This is in Srilanka. Govt supported. A vast open forest forest for grazing. Twice a day they make a sojourn to the river for drinks, bath and cooling down. Because it is routine , elephants don't seem to be excited about the water. Only those wandering elephants that sight the water body after a long time show excitement , play , splashing water and mud. These elephants are well cared for , regularly washed and scrubbed. And they are not skinny. Some elephants have chains , yes , but not hobbled. May be for good reason. And they carry sticks , bull hooks , standard minimum equipment incase of need. Elephants are social animals. Segregating that handicapped elephant is cruel. He must be happy with the company. If possible make a visit or send a contribution instead of lip service.
This elephant video is one of the most heart wrenching ones I've ever seen. Tourists probably paying to see elephants held captive, elephants in chains, and that poor gal with the missing foot....so very sad! They don't even look happy standing in the water when free elephants would be having a ball!
To my knowledge, all of these elephants were rescued from wild when they were injured or misplaced from their natural habitat. These giants were taken to this orphanage when they were very small. The rate of dying of elephants in natural habitat increasing very rapidly. That is the main reason for establishing these orphanage. At least they have someone to take care of them. After them cured, these animals are relocate in natural habitat. Don't be a keyboard worrier, and don't talk non sense if you don't know the real story.
@@abidzoardar These elephants are not wild, nor are they rescued from the wild, this is a lie told to tourists. They are a breeding facility. All those calves you see are born in the facility, not one is a rescue. They aso use cruel outdated methods of training relying on hooks and chans, negative reinforcement. It is an uphill battle trying to change these practises in facilities like these.
Breaks my heart that something we created (landlines) damages a beautiful animal. We should be ashamed! Bless her heart, she just keeps going. She should be transferred to a sanctuary and see if she could be fitted with a prosthetic. Thank you for the share! ♥️🐘♥️

There are SO many elephants wounded and killed in India from landmines and snares!! It's heartbreaking. The thing that saves them from poachers is that only male Asian elephants have tusks and most of them are kept and abused in captivity for ceremonies, and that's cruel enough!!
All those elephants are actually for a sanctuary... those people actually look after those elephants that are orphans.., they can not free them because they will go in contact with the civilians and it would be worse. Every day they took the elephants to the river for shower as you can see the elephants are not aggressive because those guys treated them well. Actually they protect the elephants from clandestine organisations that uses them for riding tourists and other type of abuses.
Anybody got a 3-D printer that can help this elephant? I don’t know if elephant has to be there to print him a foot. Clearly this animal could benefit from a prosthetic. I wish I knew how to help
Dylan SeAN 1 bull does! At the David Sheldrake orphanage. He has a prosthetic he uses when not in the water! He was an orphaned calf so they hope as the yrs go by new boots can withhold his weight. Either way he's had a wonderful 3+ yrs so far!
chad livingstone Yup Yup. Search for Namal. He's a young bull & I know they are concerned about when he gets to heavy for the current remedy. But either way it ends it's still a beautiful story. Love the video of him w his "human" swimming!!
Marie Laveau Yes but he's not at the DSWT he's in orphanage in Sri Lanka, DSWT or KWLS will euthanize Elephants with broken bones let alone missing limbs.
3:10 |▬►Well, it was not lucky to walk on a mine. However, elephant prostheses do not exist unfortunately. He seems very resourceful and can not be defeated, he is a go-getter, a winner. Seeing him down the stairs shows how he has regained his autonomy, congratulations to his master.
They might look so to u, but its not the case for for us who have been there. There is absolutely no reason for an elephant to go hungry since they eat pretty much anything. Most of these are brought here as new borns who've lost there mothers. Even when they grow up, most wont integrate properly with the wild and are allowed to stay, although many do make it back.
Oh for heaven’s sake, these are not abused, these are hurt, orphaned, over domesticated, sick elephants in the elephant orphanage. They are well fed and given treatment. The orphanage doesn’t have direct access to a river, they close the streets everyday and bring the elephants to the river to bathe. The people you’re labeling as abusers are their overworked and underfunded caretakers.
This place is called an elephant orphanage. Most of these elephants are brought here as newborns if they have lost their mothers or had some problems regarding health. They try to send them back to the wild in early adulthood but some do not integrate well and they are allowed to stay there.
Usually when you watch elephants in water they're throwing the water on themselves with their trunks and the younger ones are rolling over in it .... Doesn't feel right....
Снимите цепи со слонов! Теперь люди стали колонизаторами свободных животных. Медом не корми - дай себя показать: вот мы - а вот наша колония и наши слоны. Фантомная боль европейцев...
Wow this made me cry 😢....they have so many beautiful elephants in their control when they really should be roaming free, smh....and those hooks at the end of the sticks, that's what they use to dominate and discipline the elephants. They'll hit them with those hooks in the most sensitive parts of their body,most of the time it'll be by the lower part of their legs,smh. This is horrible.
Hummingbyrd Loves I agree! The poor disabled elephant kept looking at the keeper because he was holding the hook like he was worried he would be prodded or poked with the hook. I am also wondering what happened to their tusks... ivory?! I do not see any of those elephants with tusks.
They don't care for those elephants, you can tell there is no love or respect there. The elephants aren't even enjoying the water, they know all the men want are tourist dollars. Compare that scene to any reputable elephant rescue organisation where all the elephants are healthy and happy, these elephants are neither healthy nor happy. The biggest red flag is riding them. No reputable rescue will ever permit their elephants to ever be ridden again, EVER!

Love them so much... ❤ just when I Watching this I worry that see some thing hurt my feelings over hurting them animals but there not thing 😆😆😆 thanks you there whom look after them 💙💙💙💙love them they will love you back and God will watch over you all, love and care.
I do believe by the look of these elephants they are being abused and mentally controlled behind closed doors. Why are those two elephants in chains? why are they not playing around like normal elephants do? I wish I could just hug and help that poor elephant with the missing leg. so sad and so precious. just beautiful creatures they are.
The elephants are beautiful but I hate that they have chains on them I don't smoke yesterday was something I could do to help that poor to stay below that better.
Bless that Disabled Elephant. I need and want some answers though. I know they maybe not being mistreated, I shouldn’t say that because I really don’t know if you are not mistreating them. I don’t understand why nothing is being done to help that Magnificent Elephant. There is a man with a stick hurrying him along, does he or the others have no empathy for the beautiful Elephant, he looks so scared. The pain it must be in is breaking my heart. Why can’t you put him/her on some kind of platform with wheels and pull him done there to the water instead of causing such Agony to make him/her walk all that way. It feels like abuse to me. If you are truly trying to help DON’T leave out the one at this moment that needs your help the most. There has to be a way...PLEASE. 😪😪😪😪 I LOVE them so so very much. They are Gentle Giants with too much Evil surrounding them. I’m so sad 💔💔💔.
So many things SAD!!!! 1.that ALL these guys are orphanes2. The chains and sticks3.the hurt elephant4.the fact that i have NEVER seen elephants walk up and get in water like this and look so miserable! The is NOT normal because they are so still just standing there NOT EVEN throwing water playing in the water nothing just standing!!
These mahouts are cruel bastards, they’re probably trying to get sympathy by bringing the injured elephant down here. Don’t ever pay for rides, or paintings or anything these monsters make any elephants do. In many places it’s illegal to do this but they know how to get around it. They have made prosthetic limbs for an elephant and if these men really cared they would do that or pit this suffering animal down.
Cindy Foore,you talk about something you don't know. These elephants are well cared. I am from this place. It is true that they must be in the wild.But they were brought here after they became orphan. By the way this is a way to make money but all money goes for their caring.
True. They are definitely not happy. Elephants usually love water. Here they are mechanically standing in the water_ their spirits broken. God only knows what kind of abuse they undergo. All this is a play for the tourists. They don't look healthy.
The fact that he has that long stick near that three leg elephant, is triggering. People are really God's evilest creation! He even ended up like that, due to an evil human being!
To my knowledge, all of these elephants were rescued from wild when they were injured or misplaced from their natural habitat. These giants were taken to this orphanage when they were very small.

They try to send them back to the wild in early adulthood but some do not integrate well and they are allowed to stay there. Elephants are not used for heavywork anymore in Sri Lanka. Its much cheaper and efficient to use machines running on dinosaur juice.
Maybe something can be done.. maybe not. I feel like we don’t know enough about the economics of this organization to start making assumptions of what it can and cannot do
I thought I read somewhere where they had made a prosthetic foot for an elephant like this. It would probably never work in the wild but for a captive elephant that could be cared for. Hell anything that could be secured in place and could help distribute the weight. You can see how it has already started to deform the good leg.
I think you should love to watch if you know whats going on. This is called an elephant orphanage. Most of these elephants are brought here as newborns if they have lost their mothers or had some problems regarding health. They try to send them back to the wild in early adulthood but some do not integrate well and they are allowed to stay there.
Some of those elephants seem malnourished, as they need tons of leaves every day it costs a lot to maintain. Please donate money as much as you can. Thank you.
This is too sad to look at, the way these people treat these animals, shackled, and it seems as though they beat them with those sticks....this should stop....

Oh that was so beautiful seeing them having a bathe. I felt sad for the disabled one. Did he get in also. 💖❤💖 Oh how i wish this film had been longer 🌷🌺🌷
This was so beautiful yet heartbreaking all at the same time. Many of the elephants were in chains and another one was disabled.💖💖☺😢 This is how I feel right now.
Bro , the chained elephants are male elephants, they should be chained because if they are in muast they are very dangerous, they may kill people and other elephants
@@chaitanyareddymuthyala2967 you know, I didn't think of this. I just thought that elephants in a control environment were better behaved than the ones in the Wild. I look at so many videos and male elephants in Sanctuaries, Zoos, and Orphanages seems to be more tamed.
This is disgusting. No elephant should be in chains ever for any reason. Just don't take them till the are sure of things. That disabled one should not be paraded in front of everyone. They should have a mud hole on site incase he gets in trouble in the water. I cant watch anymore. This is disgusting, and sad to watch. How can anyone support the exploration and cruelty of these beautiful creatures.
Only a couple of them were chained. They are either newcomers or in their sexually aroused season. U have no idea what kind of havoc such elephants can create on people as well as on fellow elephants.
@@Kathrin-e8s city people dont know shit so shut up keep your fancy ass in your country. this is an orphanage these are injured,sick and leftout elephants you dum dum
ELITE-DELTA -117 i have started. Elephant parade! Donates. Only 20% is coming from the U.S. and that's not ok w me. Btw a young elephant now has a prosthetic leg!!# he's doing fine!
I heard someone say, why is it in chains? I heard someone say, Aw it's new so it has to have chains. Are you kidding or just lying. They are slaves. I seen their backbones. And I seen then with those hooks. That says it all!
May be it fights with other elephants or may be new from wild. Normally they hang weight for Buffaloes and cows necks in India since they disturb the herd ...
At first thought this was really cool an how great it was that this town let the Elephants come thru to the water.But then I saw the men with their POKERS!!!!!!!!! An I got sad an Angry. If those ELEPHANTS only knew how bad they could mess up those bad men!!!
Actually, I've learned that the stick the handlers use for training and guiding elephants when used properly, are only meant to help guide and nudge them in the right direction and are never supposed to be used to poke them or harm them in any way. That said there are still cruel people in the world harming elephants. However, I think these men working for the elephant orphanage are handling them with a great deal of respect. The truth is, they are very fortunate elephants. I'd support this group in a heartbeat. BTW, the elephants are very aware of how much damage they could do. They choose not to. I'm certain too, they are aware that these men have been helping them, which is why they are so docile and well behaved.
Hi Rachele, I am deliriously addicted to elephants everywhere. I read, research and am watching videos of elephants all the time. Every day, actually. I can't seem to stop. I have gotten to know their body language quite well. I'm not sure how many elephant orphanages there are in India, but they are a real blessing compared to what would happen to them if left to foraging where they were, as the human population there is pushing them out of their natural habitat and people are killing them to save their crops. I don't remember where I learned about the stick but, as you can see, the men are not having to use them whatsoever. Those fellows you see in chains are newcomers and are chained specifically to protect the other elephants as well as themselves and the people until they learn the ropes of their new home. It also may be that they are males in musth (Their testosterone levels are something like 60% higher during this period when they want to mate). They can become VERY aggressive and quite dangerous during this time and have been known to kill anything that gets in their way. So they have to be controlled. These elephants are very relaxed and enjoying a nice stroll to the river for a dip, which they LOVE. Hope this helps. :)
Suzanne Dawson I totally agree with u, When it comes to being addicted to Elephant Videos. I also have the same problem.lol It's VERY NICE TO TALK WITH U.MAYbe we could talk on Facebook or somewhere else about ELEPHANT VIDEOS an Such.???????
What are you saying. this is Elephant Orphanage and elephants are come every day here for bath. They are safe in here. Dont judge the real situation by one video. Go and search elephant transit home in sri lanka or udawalava eth athuru sewana..
Poor beautiful souls.... It și hard to see that people control Them în that way... And the tourits are playing for that... Pain în my Heart... Pray for Them... 💔🙏
@nuren I can't come to such a country where people are so cruel and primitive with animals. I can't visit such a country and spend a penny knowing that that money contributes to the torment of an animal ..and to come back for a stinking beast with a human. In your country, 90% of the people are very cruel, stinky, soulless, miserable ..., animals that are exploited and tortured to the maximum by humans. And these poor elephants are very tormented .. I have friends who have visited this country , these elephants from this so-called "sanctuary" ... friends who saw how these elephants are treated, how they are imposed with those iron hooks .. how they are exploited ... there are so many clips ... anyway my friends don't they will never visit this country again, the countries where animals are tormented and exploited these so-called sanctuaries where elephants are tortured, tortured, exposed for entertainment, for various rituals and religious holidays, to hard work ... In places where animals are not really exposed and tortured ..there are no chains, people do not have those metal hooks. I would like people in your countries to become human, to become civilized, empathetic ... and to care about poor animals ... because they are wonderful creatures! I don't understand why you are so evil and cruel! But that's how most people in this world are ... I hope for a better world where animals and people live together and people love them, to appreciate them as they deserve, to live together in a better and more beautiful world, without poverty, without cruelty!
Was the disabled elephant treated medically when the leg was smashed or did he simply exist in the ‘wild’ so to speak & let the injury heal as best it could on its own. 😢😢🇦🇺🇦🇺

There are SO many elephants wounded and killed in India from landmines and snares!! It's heartbreaking. The thing that saves them from poachers is that only male Asian elephants have tusks and most of them are kept and abused in captivity for ceremonies, and that's cruel enough!!
The sound of chains is terrifying

All those elephants are actually for a sanctuary... those people actually look after those elephants that are orphans.., they can not free them because they will go in contact with the civilians and it would be worse. Every day they took the elephants to the river for shower as you can see the elephants are not aggressive because those guys treated them well. Actually they protect the elephants from clandestine organisations that uses them for riding tourists and other type of abuses.

These elephants just stand in the water very strange they are not playing or enjoying it alarm bells here the pointed
poles say it all
They came to this place twice a day therefore ...... it very lazy to tjem
Elephants in wild do not play with water all the time. Videos you see from the comfort of ur home would show u only them.
That poor elegiant can be fixed with an artificial leg,so that it can sustain his weight... 😒

Anybody got a 3-D printer that can help this elephant? I don’t know if elephant has to be there to print him a foot. Clearly this animal could benefit from a prosthetic. I wish I knew how to help
Dylan SeAN 1 bull does! At the David Sheldrake orphanage. He has a prosthetic he uses when not in the water! He was an orphaned calf so they hope as the yrs go by new boots can withhold his weight. Either way he's had a wonderful 3+ yrs so far!

Marie Laveau Yes but he's not at the DSWT he's in orphanage in Sri Lanka, DSWT or KWLS will euthanize Elephants with broken bones let alone missing limbs.

They look starved and abused so afraid of these abusers I pray with all heart that someone would be brave enough to rescue the beautiful elephants
They might look so to u, but its not the case for for us who have been there. There is absolutely no reason for an elephant to go hungry since they eat pretty much anything. Most of these are brought here as new borns who've lost there mothers. Even when they grow up, most wont integrate properly with the wild and are allowed to stay, although many do make it back.
Oh for heaven’s sake, these are not abused, these are hurt, orphaned, over domesticated, sick elephants in the elephant orphanage. They are well fed and given treatment. The orphanage doesn’t have direct access to a river, they close the streets everyday and bring the elephants to the river to bathe. The people you’re labeling as abusers are their overworked and underfunded caretakers.
Please free the elephants! It’s hard for me to watch those workers not nice to them!
This place is called an elephant orphanage. Most of these elephants are brought here as newborns if they have lost their mothers or had some problems regarding health. They try to send them back to the wild in early adulthood but some do not integrate well and they are allowed to stay there.
Usually when you watch elephants in water they're throwing the water on themselves with their trunks and the younger ones are rolling over in it .... Doesn't feel right....
U r so right, not one elephant seems thrilled to b there !!
I think it is because they are captive elephants.
Why the keepers have the stick on hands? They shouldn't ride on the elephants either! I really worry about the elephants!
Снимите цепи со слонов! Теперь люди стали колонизаторами свободных животных. Медом не корми - дай себя показать: вот мы - а вот наша колония и наши слоны. Фантомная боль европейцев...
Wow this made me cry 😢....they have so many beautiful elephants in their control when they really should be roaming free, smh....and those hooks at the end of the sticks, that's what they use to dominate and discipline the elephants. They'll hit them with those hooks in the most sensitive parts of their body,most of the time it'll be by the lower part of their legs,smh. This is horrible.
Hummingbyrd Loves I agree! The poor disabled elephant kept looking at the keeper because he was holding the hook like he was worried he would be prodded or poked with the hook. I am also wondering what happened to their tusks... ivory?! I do not see any of those elephants with tusks.
5954ldydi - I agree. In fact I thought elephants need all four of their legs to support their weight or else they end up with severe back injuries.
They don't care for those elephants, you can tell there is no love or respect there. The elephants aren't even enjoying the water, they know all the men want are tourist dollars. Compare that scene to any reputable elephant rescue organisation where all the elephants are healthy and happy, these elephants are neither healthy nor happy. The biggest red flag is riding them. No reputable rescue will ever permit their elephants to ever be ridden again, EVER!
To my knowledge, all of these elephants were rescued from wild when they were injured or misplaced from their natural habitat. These giants were taken to this orphanage when they were very small. The rate of dying of elephants in natural habitat increasing very rapidly. That is the main reason for a orphanage. After them cured, these animals are relocate in natural habitat. Don't be a keyboard worrier, and don't talk non sense if you don't know the real story.

I do believe by the look of these elephants they are being abused and mentally controlled behind closed doors. Why are those two elephants in chains? why are they not playing around like normal elephants do? I wish I could just hug and help that poor elephant with the missing leg. so sad and so precious. just beautiful creatures they are.

My thoughts exactly!! Why are they carrying big sticks? This doesn’t feel right!!!
The elephants are beautiful but I hate that they have chains on them I don't smoke yesterday was something I could do to help that poor to stay below that better.
No the chains are wrong
Bless that Disabled Elephant. I need and want some answers though. I know they maybe not being mistreated, I shouldn’t say that because I really don’t know if you are not mistreating them. I don’t understand why nothing is being done to help that Magnificent Elephant. There is a man with a stick hurrying him along, does he or the others have no empathy for the beautiful Elephant, he looks so scared. The pain it must be in is breaking my heart. Why can’t you put him/her on some kind of platform with wheels and pull him done there to the water instead of causing such Agony to make him/her walk all that way. It feels like abuse to me. If you are truly trying to help DON’T leave out the one at this moment that needs your help the most. There has to be a way...PLEASE. 😪😪😪😪 I LOVE them so so very much. They are Gentle Giants with too much Evil surrounding them. I’m so sad 💔💔💔.

These are from the national Elephant Orphanage, in Pinnawala, Sri Lanka.
That's really painful to see a disabled giant
None of the elephants have tusks!! What happened? Genetic flaw or cut off and sold.
So many things SAD!!!! 1.that ALL these guys are orphanes2. The chains and sticks3.the hurt elephant4.the fact that i have NEVER seen elephants walk up and get in water like this and look so miserable! The is NOT normal because they are so still just standing there NOT EVEN throwing water playing in the water nothing just standing!!
This is not full video .they bathe freely.
These mahouts are cruel bastards, they’re probably trying to get sympathy by bringing the injured elephant down here.
Don’t ever pay for rides, or paintings or anything these monsters make any elephants do.
In many places it’s illegal to do this but they know how to get around it.
They have made prosthetic limbs for an elephant and if these men really cared they would do that or pit this suffering animal down.
Nope.. European hunters are the bastard mother fuckers scum off this world..
Cindy Foore,you talk about something you don't know. These elephants are well cared. I am from this place. It is true that they must be in the wild.But they were brought here after they became orphan. By the way this is a way to make money but all money goes for their caring.
They seemed very unhappy to me,elephants usually love water,but this here didn't seem to.
Ppö
True. They are definitely not happy. Elephants usually love water. Here they are mechanically standing in the water_ their spirits broken. God only knows what kind of abuse they undergo. All this is a play for the tourists. They don't look healthy.
Love your video very much, and I cannot wait for another video coming out soon. Thanks!
The fact that he has that long stick near that three leg elephant, is triggering. People are really God's evilest creation! He even ended up like that, due to an evil human being!

I thought I read somewhere where they had made a prosthetic foot for an elephant like this. It would probably never work in the wild but for a captive elephant that could be cared for. Hell anything that could be secured in place and could help distribute the weight. You can see how it has already started to deform the good leg.
I have been here and these elephants are really cared for. I wish the one with a leg missing could get a prosthetic

Bro , the chained elephants are male elephants, they should be chained because if they are in muast they are very dangerous, they may kill people and other elephants
@@chaitanyareddymuthyala2967 you know, I didn't think of this. I just thought that elephants in a control environment were better behaved than the ones in the Wild. I look at so many videos and male elephants in Sanctuaries, Zoos, and Orphanages seems to be more tamed.
I hope these elephant have a stampede on these people. This is sooo heart breaking
dumb idiot
This is disgusting. No elephant should be in chains ever for any reason. Just don't take them till the are sure of things. That disabled one should not be paraded in front of everyone. They should have a mud hole on site incase he gets in trouble in the water. I cant watch anymore. This is disgusting, and sad to watch. How can anyone support the exploration and cruelty of these beautiful creatures.

May be it fights with other elephants or may be new from wild. Normally they hang weight for Buffaloes and cows necks in India since they disturb the herd ...
That bcz u hv never deal with elephants,
At first thought this was really cool an how great it was that this town let the Elephants come thru to the water.But then I saw the men with their POKERS!!!!!!!!! An I got sad an Angry.
If those ELEPHANTS only knew how bad they could mess up those bad men!!!
Actually, I've learned that the stick the handlers use for training and guiding elephants when used properly, are only meant to help guide and nudge them in the right direction and are never supposed to be used to poke them or harm them in any way. That said there are still cruel people in the world harming elephants. However, I think these men working for the elephant orphanage are handling them with a great deal of respect. The truth is, they are very fortunate elephants. I'd support this group in a heartbeat. BTW, the elephants are very aware of how much damage they could do. They choose not to. I'm certain too, they are aware that these men have been helping them, which is why they are so docile and well behaved.
Suzanne Dawson I hope you are right.How did u find out that information??
Hi Rachele, I am deliriously addicted to elephants everywhere. I read, research and am watching videos of elephants all the time. Every day, actually. I can't seem to stop. I have gotten to know their body language quite well. I'm not sure how many elephant orphanages there are in India, but they are a real blessing compared to what would happen to them if left to foraging where they were, as the human population there is pushing them out of their natural habitat and people are killing them to save their crops. I don't remember where I learned about the stick but, as you can see, the men are not having to use them whatsoever. Those fellows you see in chains are newcomers and are chained specifically to protect the other elephants as well as themselves and the people until they learn the ropes of their new home. It also may be that they are males in musth (Their testosterone levels are something like 60% higher during this period when they want to mate). They can become VERY aggressive and quite dangerous during this time and have been known to kill anything that gets in their way. So they have to be controlled. These elephants are very relaxed and enjoying a nice stroll to the river for a dip, which they LOVE. Hope this helps. :)
Suzanne Dawson I totally agree with u, When it comes to being addicted to Elephant Videos. I also have the same problem.lol
It's VERY NICE TO TALK WITH U.MAYbe we could talk on Facebook or somewhere else about ELEPHANT VIDEOS an Such.???????

@nuren I can't come to such a country where people are so cruel and primitive with animals. I can't visit such a country and spend a penny knowing that that money contributes to the torment of an animal ..and to come back for a stinking beast with a human. In your country, 90% of the people are very cruel, stinky, soulless, miserable ..., animals that are exploited and tortured to the maximum by humans. And these poor elephants are very tormented .. I have friends who have visited this country , these elephants from this so-called "sanctuary" ... friends who saw how these elephants are treated, how they are imposed with those iron hooks .. how they are exploited ... there are so many clips ... anyway my friends don't they will never visit this country again, the countries where animals are tormented and exploited these so-called sanctuaries where elephants are tortured, tortured, exposed for entertainment, for various rituals and religious holidays, to hard work ...
In places where animals are not really exposed and tortured ..there are no chains, people do not have those metal hooks.
I would like people in your countries to become human, to become civilized, empathetic ... and to care about poor animals ... because they are wonderful creatures! I don't understand why you are so evil and cruel!
But that's how most people in this world are ...
I hope for a better world where animals and people live together and people love them, to appreciate them as they deserve, to live together in a better and more beautiful world, without poverty, without cruelty!

Was the disabled elephant treated medically when the leg was smashed or did he simply exist in the ‘wild’ so to speak & let the injury heal as best it could on its own. 😢😢🇦🇺🇦🇺
