There’s no pride in elephant rides

Elephants at Amer Fort (also known as Amber Fort) in Rajasthan, India, are often controlled with bull hooks 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.

Please help the 102 Amer Fort elephants

The government of Rajasthan has the power to end help these majestic animals

When they are not giving tourist rides, these elephants are cruelly chained.

They’re unable to socialise, graze or freely move, which causes them great stress and painful foot problems too.

Taken early from their mothers and forced through a horrific training process known as 'the crush'

Chained to one spot when not being forced to carry tourists, causing repetitive strain injuries and painful foot problems

Elephants need to be free to just be elephants.

They are wildlife. Not entertainers.
