Using one elephant to torture another. If black can get any darker this is it.

An elephant is not a machine for human entertainment, a tourist ride, or a ceremonial showpiece.
This video raises disturbing questions about the way these gentle giants are captured, handled, restrained, and exploited.
Tradition is never an excuse for cruelty. Elephants deserve compassion, proper care, dignity, and freedom from abuse.
How long will we turn a blind eye? Authorities must investigate cruelty wherever it occurs and enforce animal-protection laws.
Their silence is not consent. Be their voice.

Truth about elephant slavery:
There are no "tame" elephants.
There are only enslaved elephants.
They endure extreme torture.
They all belong in the wild.

Playing dead is a freeze reaction to fear.
No cute.

They are also baby elephants.

They are getting tortured in diff temples across TN as we write.
They also miss their moms and habitat.

Assam is trading their elephants for money and rich people and traders are earning crores!

Durga, Bijuli, Shiva, Hiralal & Rupsing must have been the same way with their moms, dreaming away, life full of happiness and safety, until they were snatched from the wild, made "captive" & sold to Tamil Nadu (🇮🇳)Temples. Shame on Madras HC!!!

Beautiful indeed.But till when will we selectively highlight these scarce happy stories of reunions & not talk about the brutality done to 🐘? Wild 🐘are being caught & sold openly. Recently 5 baby 🐘 were snatched from their moms in Assam to be sent to lifelong captivity to TN💔

The money that Governments spaff up the wall (Coronapanic anyone), and we can’t find money to save the World’s most vital ecosystems. Shameful. But at least our crackers and toothpaste will be slightly smoother!

Elephants
The elephant “breaking” method (phajaan / “the crush”) is a traditional Southeast Asian practice used to force wild or young captive Asian elephant calves into lifelong submission for temples, labor, tourism rides, performances, or logging. It deliberately shatters the animal’s spirit through prolonged physical restraint, pain, starvation, thirst, sleep deprivation, and terror until the elephant stops resisting and accepts human dominance.
How it typically unfolds
A calf—usually 2–4 years old—is first violently separated from its mother and herd. Mothers scream, charge, and try to protect their young; calves cry out in distress. This alone is traumatic for a highly social, long-lived animal that forms deep family bonds.
The calf is then forced into a narrow wooden “crush” or cage—barely larger than its body—built from heavy posts and beams. Legs, neck, and sometimes trunk are tightly bound with ropes or chains so it cannot kick, swing its head, or move more than a few centimeters. It stands (or is forced to stand) in its own urine and feces for days or weeks.
Handlers then systematically inflict pain:
• Sharp metal bullhooks (ankus), sticks with nails, knives, or iron rods are jabbed, stabbed, or scraped into the most sensitive areas: the soft skin behind the ears, the trunk, the forehead, the feet, and the anus.
• Nails or spikes may be driven into the ears or feet.
• Blows a rain of intense beating on the head and body.
• Loud shouting, fire, and constant noise amplify the terror.
• Food and water are withheld for days; sleep is prevented.
• Some accounts describe the forehead becoming raw and bloody from repeated scraping and stabbing.
The calf fights at first—thrashing, trumpeting, trying to break free. As exhaustion, pain, hunger, and fear mount, the resistance collapses into learned helplessness. Screams become weaker. The animal eventually freezes, stops defending itself, and submits. Only then is it offered food and water—usually by the mahout who will control it thereafter—creating a twisted dependency: the same humans who inflicted the agony become the source of relief.
The process can last from several days to weeks or even months depending on the individual. Some calves die from the stress, injuries, or exhaustion. Survivors carry permanent physical scars and deep psychological trauma. Their legendary memory means the fear never fully leaves; the mere sight or touch of a bullhook can trigger instant obedience for the rest of their 50–70 year lives.
What the elephant experiences
Imagine a toddler-sized being (elephants mature slowly and remain dependent for years) ripped from its mother, jammed into a box the size of a coffin, unable to move, while people repeatedly stab and beat the most tender parts of its body. It is thirsty, starving, sleep-deprived, standing in its own waste, hearing constant human shouting, and knowing no way out. Every natural instinct—to run, to fight, to call for its family—is met with more pain until those instincts are extinguished. The goal is not training through understanding or reward; it is to replace the elephant’s will with permanent fear of humans.
This is why most elephants used for tourist rides, shows, painting, or “bathing experiences” in places like Thailand will never again trust people the way a free animal would. The submission you see is the lasting result of that early crushing.
The practice is widely condemned as extreme animal cruelty by welfare organizations
