There’s no pride in elephant rides
Elephants at Amer Fort (also known as Amber Fort) in Rajasthan, India, are often controlled with bullhooks which cause wounds and scarring. They carry heavy seats for tourists to sit on, which aggravates injuries and causes them severe muscle strain.
Yet they are forced to give rides hour after hour.
Day after day.
For years and years.

Act Now!
A great way to continue helping farmed animals daily is to eat more plant foods and fewer animal proteins. The immense scale at which we are producing and consuming meat today has negative implications on our health and the planet.
Antibiotics are now ineffective in treating infections. Over 700,000 people are falling into the trap of death due to superbugs/AMR.
The strains of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi resistant to antibiotics are called superbugs. It has been estimated that up to 10 million people will lose their lives each year by 2050 due to superbugs only. Not just this, we will face a huge economic loss of 100 trillion dollars as estimated by The World Bank.
