VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

When you are traveling in Thailand, you must be finding a service of ridding elephants. It is popular of services in Thailand because a number of people like to ride elephants. Because of this, the service increases the service peoples’ income. However, this service is not merciful for those elephants because baby elephants have to separate with their parents under human violence. They have to take a long time to be used to carry people on their back. Whatever, it is day or night, those baby elephants don’t have a rest before they get able to carry people. Although, those baby elephants seem to be strong, their back is the weakest parts in their body structure. If you like them, please don’t ride them anymore. After this, I believe this kind of services will be replaced by a new service.
