Help Thailands Elephants
In addition to the compassionate story written by Gabrielle Nagle , as she says, Elephants are experiencing the most awful abuses in the name of tourism - travellers to Thailand are often totally unaware of the real story. Travel agents worldwide sell Thailand with images of happy tourists riding on elephants with saddles (howdah) and patting young street elephants. To educate the travelling public we need travel agents to a) be aware of the problem, b) agree to corporate responsibility in the promotion of humane and ethical travel choices.
You can help!
I am the author of the petition. Myself and a group of concerned individuals have raised this petition to target one of the largest international travel agents and their affiliates - The Flight Centre - in the ongoing campaign to create better conditions for the working elephants of Thailand. Please sign and share this petition widely with your friends, family and networks.
