Elephant Cried Tears of Joy After Being Rescued From 73 Years of Sufferings

Humans have the capability to tame various wild animals and keep them as pets or make them work for their vested interests. We see that people keep dogs, cats, horses, etc. as pets and take care of them but there are many instances where these animals are not treated properly and they suffer cruelty at the hands of their trainers or owners. To what extent do you think it’s correct? Is it justifiable to show your power on the one who is weaker than you? Well, it will be in fact incorrect to call them weak as they are not given the chance to show their might and if they get an opportunity, they can make their owners who torture them run for life.

2Elephants and their uses for humans

Elephants are used for work and tourism purposes in many parts of the world as they are powerful and perfect for pulling heavy equipment or carrying heavy loads or for giving a ride to the tourists. In fact, in old times, the elephants used to be an integral part of armies of the Kings, so we can easily say that the association between humans and elephants exist for quite a long time now.

But when we get to witness incidents of brutality on the elephants despite the fact that they are contributing so much in our lives, we feel very sad.

3Why elephants suffer such cruelty?

Every animal lover and the person who rescues these elephants ask this question as to what is the need for the trainers and owners to handle these animals with such cruelty. They may not be able to learn the tricks very easily and early but why are we forgetting that they are animals, not humans. They are not as intelligent as we are and we should keep a softer and patient approach towards them.

Bullhook or ankusha is a hook attached to a handle of 2-3 ft. and it is used for the purpose of training and controlling the elephants.

5Trainers justify the use of bullhook

The use of bullhooks is normally justified by the trainers and handlers as they claim that it is used for just guiding the elephant. However, in reality, the use of bullhooks on elephants harms them not just physically but emotionally as well.
