Riding elephants
Is riding an elephants a complete taboo now, or can it still be done, responsibly?
Some say absolutely don’t, ever, partake in it. Such as the Banlung Elephant project. But others say that you can, responsibly, like Airavata.
Airavata cites this article as their justification: https://www.airavata-cambodia.com/eleph ... e-bashing/
The article essentially says, yes, there are some bad actors, but riding an elephant is actually more humane than riding a horse.
Thoughts?

Just pick one up outside a Drive-Thru in the US. If that’s your thing. #RideEmCowboy

Thanks for confirming why I haven’t been posting a lot lately.
Perhaps this week there will be one interesting post on here. Meanwhile on TOF there are probably 20+ active topics already for the day. But you all are hilarious, don’t worry about it.

The main concern is how elephants are trained (or rather broken), the living conditions, and the lack of social interaction of those elephants. And I would agree that riding horses is probably no better as the recent spate of deaths at US race tracks shows.

Yes you're right there. I particularly like the story today about someone brushing the street. It was riveting.
