glad your sharing and caring.

 

Supporting any of these industries is being part of the problem.

 

Take Care,

I agree BigG.

 

It's important to stop supporting these industries or they will continue to abuse animals for our 'entertainment'.

 

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for letting us know. I wonder how some of the other big movies have treated the famous and not so famous animals .

I will not go and see this movie . Now that I know what a treatment awaits gentle giants of this Earth.

Breaks my heart Anne, but I'm glad to know the truth, I wish I had known this before I saw the movie. I'm just going to stay away from movie using animals from now on. Thank you for the truth.

Dear iLuvGR33N,

This is a still from the Animals Defenders International video showing abuse to Elephants from the trainers of Tai. The still shows a baby elephant having her trunk pulled by trainers.

The video can be viewed on the link I gave above .

I will try to embed it here:

Please do think on the training methods used on these elephants, including Tai, by the trainers at 'Have Trunk will Travel", and please consider the boycotting other films they have been involved with.

Here is more, recently released, awful footage from these  Elephant abusers who call themselves 'trainers' :
