In Thailand, baby elephants are taken from their mothers, tied down, and beaten so severely that they bleed and scream???all in order to force them to learn that they must obey when ordered to perform ridiculous tricks for tourists. PETA has held protests at Thai Embassies and Consulates all over the world and will continue with the campaign until the Thai government bans the ritualized torture, called phaajaan, which PETA has captured on undercover videotape.


"The government of Thailand is sanctioning the torture of baby elephants," says PETA???s campaign coordinator Andrew Butler. "Our weapons in defense of these animals will be international embarrassment and the threat of diminishing tourist dollars." PETA has provided Thai officials with proposed laws that would ban cruel training and prohibit the use of this highly endangered species in barbaric amusement attractions. The animal rights group is keeping pressure on Thai officials by holding protests at Thai Embassies in cities around the world, including Vancouver, B.C., earlier this month and Chicago, Ill., on Friday, April 25.

Approximately 3,800 of Thailand???s estimated 5,000 endangered elephants are in private hands. Most are used as tourist attractions in elephant camps, where they are forced to perform nonsensical circus-style tricks and to give rides. In order to "train" these sensitive animals, still-nursing baby elephants are traumatically torn from their mothers, forcefully immobilized, and relentlessly beaten with nail-studded planks.
