WHY DO I FEEL THAT CERTAIN IGNORANT IDIOTS WHO HAVEN'T EVEN VENTURED BEYOND THEIR OWN YARDS ARE TRYING TO RUIN THIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE . NANCY WAY TO GO SPREAD THE LOVE !
ELEPHANTS in CHAINS, being POKED AND PRIED with METAL SPIKES. CHAINED, HURT with METAL SPIKES, and made to stand around in water TO MAKE TOURIST MONEY! UNCHAIN the elephants! LOSE THE SPIKES! THE IS ELEPHANT HELL. IMPRISONED HELL for any living being.
Just for clarification as to why a few elephants are chained and not free as others is because they are bit more aggressive than the others and in order to stop the animal from loosing control they make sure certain parts of the body are chained to restrict the elephants movements. On my last trip to the orphanage saw this method probably save a life as one tourist ventured too close to take a picture of very young elephant calf as they crossed the road on to the river, almost immediately one of the larger male elephants quickly cut across thinking it was threat to the baby elephant and charged at the camera guy, the chains around the elephant stopped him from moving quickly and probably saved the guys life. Mahouts quickly got the situation under control but sometimes we need to understand that these are not domesticated animals and certain precautions are necessary to protect everyone. Other than such precautions Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is a truly a magnificent place to visit, happy these orphaned elephants have a home of their own ❤️ Loved this video very much, the staff are doing a great job looking after these beautiful animals.
Guys this is not abusing elephants.. If one elephant get out of control you cannot simply put him down he will attack each every elephant as well as the tourists.. and most likely in a situation like that other elephants can also run out of control but the only thing that will keep them slow is those chains.. dnt forget elephants are cute and nice to watch but in the same time they could be deadly and life threatening.. I Live in SL..... and has witnessed a lot of sad incidents..
i really like this place, especially the bathing corner. if you want to see more elephants in Sri Lanka, you may want to go to Minneriya national park which is located on the road to Polonnaruwa.
Yong De Tan Thank you! It's always special when I see elephants. It's a privilege. I'm going to Africa in a month and I'm sure we'll see some, but I hope I'm blessed to visit Sri Lanka again for all the wonderful things the country has to offer, including the elephants.
I HATE THIS HELL. ELEPHANTS in CHAINS, being POKED AND PRIED with METAL SPIKES. CHAINED, HURT with METAL SPIKES, and made to stand around in water TO MAKE TOURIST MONEY! UNCHAIN the elephants! LOSE THE SPIKES! THE IS ELEPHANT HELL. IMPRISONED HELL for any living being. I HATE this place IMPRISONING and HURTING these majestic creatures with METAL CHAINS and METAL SPIKES. DON'T GET ON THE ELEPHANTS and DISGRACE THEIR DIGNITY!
I believe the chains are for the safety of the public, so unless there are no visitors, I guess not. Better chains than drugs in my opinion. The best is for all animals to be free of course!
Those are matured animals it's hard to handle them in groups, they don't chain the little ones. or Probably they are about to start it's musth period which it gets really aggressive due to hormone reaction.
Would u take responsibility when they start killing people ? Elephants kill nearly 80 people in Sri Lanka every year. In the old days Europeans thought elephants had no bones. People in western countries still don't know anything at all about elephants.
If you’ve got to use a chain, THE ELEPHANT IS NOT FREE!! Why are they not with the mothers who are not far away? 😭😭😭😭 Thank you for this video..I just hate that this is really not an orphanage!!
Why are they afraid of your voice? What happens to them that the people don’t see, in order to make them that way?? 😡😡😡😡 Caught pinching his ear...😡😡😡 I’d like to pinch your....... Give the elephant that hook stick...it’s no funny when the rabbit (elephant), got the gun (chain, pole, etc..)!!! They are too thin! The bones in their hands should not be showing like that!! Especially given that most of them are not old elephants...😰😰😡😡😭😭😭
Mary Edel Guzman The elephants that are used for riding need the income to survive. They can not be released to the wild. There is a law now against new elephants being used for riding, which is great.

I'm truly sorry you feel that way Taxila! You obviously have a tender heart and love animals. I just want to say though that some of them would not be alive if it was not for this place and that tourist money is important to give these amazing animals a more comfortable environment.

Amazing
Thank you. Very glad you enjoyed it 🤗
It's 2021 now, have they removed the chains?
I believe the chains are for the safety of the public, so unless there are no visitors, I guess not. Better chains than drugs in my opinion. The best is for all animals to be free of course!
Why in chains? And still riding them? And using sharp hooks?
Those are matured animals it's hard to handle them in groups, they don't chain the little ones. or
Probably they are about to start it's musth period which it gets really aggressive due to hormone reaction.
AmphipolisXoXo because if they run in to the wild they could not survive easily
Helen Isaac it's not a cruel way it's Because they might run away! Ya have no idea how much savage elephants are in Sri Lanka
His name will be lobbe lou

What a disgrace. Only in Sri Lanka are elephants treated like this, always chained!
How is ELEPHANTS in chains & poked with sticks a Beautiful Site, please explains this awful site!!!!
Are u sure they should be eating wood
Well, elephants in the wild eat small branches and bark, so yes, I think the food they gave them was safe.
Help and serve nature,animals and other species.Help others through many ways...Universal Arrow,Kerala,India.
such peaceful elephants and can not have there freedom in the river with out being watched by mahouts chain free them for god sake.
Would u take responsibility when they start killing people ? Elephants kill nearly 80 people in Sri Lanka every year.

Why! chain elephant? stubit!
Natalie Kramer because the elephants can run away
I see !!! why are they in chains. this is no good
shocking treatment of elephants for money gain
Why are they afraid of your voice? What happens to them that the people don’t see, in order to make them that way?? 😡😡😡😡
Caught pinching his ear...😡😡😡 I’d like to pinch your.......
Give the elephant that hook stick...it’s no funny when the rabbit (elephant), got the gun (chain, pole, etc..)!!!
They are too thin! The bones in their hands should not be showing like that!! Especially given that most of them are not old elephants...😰😰😡😡😭😭😭
What kind of conservancy is this? It abuses and exploits the elephants. Stop riding elephants, stop beating elephants. You are full of pretense.
Mary Edel Guzman The elephants that are used for riding need the income to survive. They can not be released to the wild. There is a law now against new elephants being used for riding, which is great.
Nancy Ioannidis That is nice to know. I hope this orphanage has improved since. Thank you.
