End the Torture Training of Elephants

The Issue

"To examine whether something is 'humane' first determine whether you would want it done to you." – Andrea Kladar

The Konni Elephant Camp in Pathanamthitta, which should be a haven for these sentient and magestic creatures, is instead a training camp that routinely tortures baby elephants to submit to human will solely for tourism.

Elephants are sentient, intelligent creatures that mourn their dead and want to live in freedom, just like you do. The continuation of capturing, enslaving, and torturing Elephants is a horror in which no village and no decent human being should continue to support.

Instead of being Konni EcoTerrorism, you would get more support by making your mission a real EcoTourism region by engaging with the inhabitants and supporting their cause. People would flock to see elephants living in freedom alongside a village that shows care and reverence for the ecosystem around them.
