The elephants are well taken care of for anyone wondering. In thai culture the elephant is an extremely sacred animal, only to be treated with respect and admired by all. In this ceremony the elephants are symbolic to the “nature of monarchy” as the monarch is rising to a similar status as the elephants.
Yeah, that's why the riders got that steel barbed hooked device in their hands. What is the history of that device? How is it used to train the elephants?
@@tvtvvtvt8017 they have to have an implementation to control the elephant if it decides to injure people or get out of control. Just like Western culture has those spike shoes for horses.
@@andywattanaskolpant8378 I think that makes sense. I've got a huge Great Dane and sometimes when she's not acting right I have to smack her. Obviously not to hurt her but she's so big it might looks like I am being mean when in fact if I did anything less she wouldn't even notice it. Fact is for their safety and for the safety of other people when you have a big animal it is important that they are under control if needed. That's not always but in some situations you have to be sure that they will listen to you so they don't do something stupid like run out in front of a car and get hit.
Don’t believe you. Many of us have seen how the elephants are trained. Then to chain them up and make them confined to limited enclosures is inhumane. Please quit trying to make this sound like they’re not harming these elephants. They can honor the people without causing these elephants to endure their cruel treatment.
they beat and hit elephants to train them. They put those steel-hooked devices on sensitive areas (like the anus) during training. Elephants do all they do because of fear of that device in the rider's hand. If you can train an elephant without using a barbed hook device then I'd agree that its not abuse. BUT each of those riders uses those devices to signal the elephants to do something (like "pray"). I've seen the way elephants are trained and it is appalling in Thailand.
Just because elephants are fed, doesn't mean they didn't suffer from being beaten by the riders and trainers. Elephants socialize with each other. Beating them and separating them from each other bring much mental damage and depression to elephants.
The poor people here are envious of my country since they lack such a magnificent animal as elephants! Did you all know that elephants were utilized in battle hundreds of years ago? If those elephants could talk to us, I have no doubt that they would be proud of the war they fought to defend this country. What about your people, specifically Americans, who have trained dogs and use them as family members? Why didn't you let them be free to be anything they wanted? Give up criticizing others and examine yourself before commenting! In addition, these elephants are well cared and they get use to it! As some of you may have already seen on TH-cam, we still have a number of wild elephants that will grab a sugar cane as a toll fee!
For anyone saying this is abuse …. The elephants have a better life than yours and are tended to daily nonstop 😂 sorry, but they’re worth more than you, that’s just how sacred and important they are.

@@adw6894 You do realize “white elephants” are considered sacred to the royalty, right? Thai kings and monarchs value and respect the elephants and would never do such things because they’re viewed as divine beings. I’m not saying such cruel practices as you mentioned don’t exist, but if it’s a WHITE elephant living in the palace, it is 100% living a better life than you.
Not all because it is Thai kingdom have this elephant. But how about elephant in tourism Thailand, many get abuse, torture and suffering . Open your mind and check in google

@@dionnedunsmore9996 What about Horses? They're part of most cultures and get abused. Stop assuming that we abuse them if you have nothing to back it up.

@@tankman1214 Just because horses are abused doesn't mean now we can just abuse elephants any time we want. Right now people are trying to bring welfare for horses and treat them gentle too, so don't justify the elephant's abusing.

This is horrible. To train these elephants they abuse them and break their spirit. Elephants should not be ridden. It causes harm to them. To say they are well taken care of is not true.
@@lonelyman6437 I don’t agree with it. The elephants show signs of depression. Also, standing on the concrete harms their bones. There are so many stories of elephants being rescued from zoos after many years of living in ill health from improper feeding and extreme distress. What has been done to animals in zoos is heartbreaking. The animals suffer from boredom, stress and lack of interaction with their own species. Oftentimes the animal are treated with drugs to keep them from acting out. Things are slowly changing, but people need to wake up to the cruelty.
These are the Kings Elephants. You know nothing of Thai culture. They get the best treatment you would ever know. Why not stick to what happens in your own country, and leave the culture of others alone.
These elephants were owned by a king and they are treated like royalty and having a much better life than third quarter of us Thai and sure is better that yours. And if you say this is animal abusing then riding a horse is also abusive, train a dog to work for the police is abusive, eating chicken is abusive, using mouse for an experiment is way more abusive. How about that?
Before you call this abuse, learn about the culture of the people first. The elephants in thailand are considered sacred and are treated well and respected. Abuse will not be one of the things they will do especially to a white elephant
Abusing a white elephant used to carry a death sentence in some countries because they were considered royal property. And honestly, they look fine to me. I think they've been trained to perform but that's it. I really appreciated how quiet the whole event was. Wish it was the same in Sri Lanka. Here elephants have to walk in chains in an annual parade. You can google it if you want because I feel like there's a clear difference in how the animals were treated in the 2 countries. The sound of loud trumpets, flutes and drums is deafening to human ears, I always hate that the poor elephants have to go through that.
