but what people fail to remember is that an Asian elephant’s life expectancy is about 45 years old and she’s already near that end at the age. Sad she dropped dead but I honestly don’t think riding elephants means animal cruelty. Maybe they should’ve look to retire her though because that’s old!
Southeast Asians have been riding/using elephants for thousands of years just like Europeans have been riding and using horses….and we still do!! So what’s the huge difference? Should Cambodians start a petition for Americans to end horseback riding and other things they may not understand about the culture?
