Tourist Tragically Killed By Elephant In Thailand

ELEPHANT RIDE ENDS IN TRAGIC DEATH OF TOURIST IN THAILAND

His death comes as a stark reminder that wild animals are exactly that- wild. They are not meant to be ridden or used as photography props. If they are, the chances are they have been abused in some way to make them scared of humans. And sometimes these animals simply can no longer take the abuse and exploitation and will one day �snap�, often with tragic consequences.

�If you can ride, hug or have a selfie with a wild animal, then the chances are the animal is suffering. Vote with your feet and don�t go.�
