Thailand's tourist industry is driving a brutal trade in baby elephants.
Illegal and brutal cross-border trade in endangered wild Asian
elephants continues. On the Thai-Myanmar border at least 50-100 calves
and young females are removed from their forest homes every year and are
traded illegally every year to supply tourist camps. Countless
elephants die in the process threatening the remaining populations of
this endangered species.
Capturing elephants from the wild for this trade often involves killing of mothers and other protective family members with automatic weapons. Captured calves are subjected to an extremely brutal breaking-in process where they are tied up, confined, starved, beaten and tortured in order to break their spirits. It is estimated that only one in three survive this inhumane "domestication" process. This original investigative report by The Ecologist Film Unit in association with Earth Focus/Link TV and Elephant Family exposes this practice.
