Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this. Elephants are my favorite animals and I've always had my heart set on meeting one and riding on its back...
I am going backpacking through Thailand in November. And my number one goal was to finally ride an elephant. After reading your elephant story and doing research on BLES, I have to come realize I no longer want to ride an elephant because I refuse to contribute to this cruelty. My heart breaks for them and I now want to make sure I visit this sanctuary instead of going to the tourist hotspots to see the elephants. Thank you again for bringing awareness to this cause! I feel completely ignorant to what has been going on with the elephants and I am so thankful I will not be contributing to this disgusting treatment! Thank you for opening my eyes. And please let me know how I can help when I visit there! I'd love to spend a couple of my days volunteering to the elephants there. PM any information and who I need to contact.
