Street begging by elephants still continues in Thailand, putting the poor animals in danger every day. It has ceased in Chiang Mai after our volunteers help to sign a petition and protest in May of this year, but many cities of Thailand still allow the owners to take their elephants to roam the streets to make money.
During the floods, we were busy working to rescue the dogs and cats from the water, but sometimes in the late nights, on our way back to our shelter we found elephants walk in the middle of Bangkok.
If locals and tourists give money to the elephant riders in the city then they will continue to take baby elephants out on the street. These elephants will suffer and risk their life on the dangerous, noisy polluted roads.
A baby elephant was hit by car at Roi Et province as his mahout took him street begging into the night; he is in critical condition now.
