We want to say a "BIG THANK YOU" to everyone who heard us and shared what the reality is behind a very simple 'Elephant Ride' for the elephant. Today we continue the story that probably marks the start for many of the elephants you see in entertainment today. Let us trace it all back to how that ride was made possible and let us share this endless beginning.
A ritual called ‘Phajaan’. In this ritual, baby elephants are taken away by force from their mother's side shortly after birth. Their ...

Happy World Snake Day
18th Jul 2014, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
16th July may be the World Snake day, but every day is a “wild” day for us at ACRES team of staff members and volunteers.
However, snakes are one of the group of animals who are often mistaken out of fear and ignorance, and end up being beaten to serious injuries or even death. What is often overlooked about them is not only their beauty and perfection like any life forms, but also their own roles in our ecosystem as natural rodent/lizard/bird population controllers, in particular our own u...

Did you know that one should never intentionally ride on an elephant?
Especially on a man-made seat fitted onto their back, resting on the highest arch where the spinal chord is constantly pressed against with weight that is not suppose to be? Plus the sharp bull hooks used to jabbed into an elephant's sensitive skin causes them immense pain too.
Have you seen a ride like this before and if you did, would you think twice before you attempt an elephant ride in the future?
Let us share and s...
