@justin.the.moment: This was so hard to see. A young elephant chained to the ground shaking obvious signs of stress. A handler with a sharp, curved hook to force compliance through pain. The elephant being forced to give tourists a “kiss.” A trick taught through hours of torture and pain. It’s hard seeing a country I love promote this barbarism. Seeing the stark contrast between these two scenes was humbling. Please be mindful about how you spend your money. Do your research. This was just one of many on the road up to Big Buddha #thailand #phuket #animals #conservasion #elephant
