Elephants are kept captive against their will. the owners are fully responsible for the elephant's safety. Mahout pushed elephant to the metal fence to control him and the elephant got cut by a 4-5 inch nail bolt #PeraheraWithoutElephants raresl.org

Elephants can communicate using specific sounds that function similarly to names. Research shown they use distinct vocalizations to refer to each other, which help them identify individuals within social groups. This highlights their complex social structures & intelligence

DG-DWC Chandana Sooriyabandara as usual carrying out his orders. Protecting the minister. However the jeep drivers agreed that it was Vijitha Herath that increased the cap. Yala animals at risk again.. dailymirror.lk/breaking_news/…

When a baby is taken away from mother and herd he/she looses the support, emotional bonding, and learning and social interaction that they need to thrive as an elephant their entire life. #PeraheraWithoutElephants #FreeElephantSlaves #EndCaptivity #elephant #srilanka #EcoTourism

Happy Sri Lanka Independence Day—though independence is still a dream for the #elephants chained in temples, exploited in tourism, and losing their forests. True freedom should be for all #srilanka #PeraheraWithoutElephants #ElephantHumanCoexistenceFoundation #FreeElephantSlaves

Zoo dpt has brought 2 new Brown Bears and other new animals. Why ? Because majority of Sri Lankans still go to see animals in the Zoo. They think the animals in the zoo are cute. The Young Zoologists Association still teach kids about animals using the animals in the zoo?

Famous Tusker Sando shot and killed for tusks. What a sad day it is for Sri Lanka. The failure at protecting our precious elephants. He has brought in a massive amount of foreign revenue as a tourist attraction. #srilanka #elephant #elephantgenocidelk #HumanElephantConflict

Six elephants dead in one incident in #SriLanka. Elephants were crossing the rail track when they were hit by a train. 2 badly injured! No government has taken proper measures to protect our national treasure! Sad RARE Sri Lanka

Ministry of Agriculture has to do the few changes the Parliamentary Sectoral Oversight Commitee on Animal Welfare requested in 2024 and table the Animal Welfare Bill to be passed in the parliament with a simple majority. The Minister responsible is Lal Kantha #enactawb

Elephant attacks man at a Hindu temple. 2nd captive elephant attack in less than a month, Previous resulted in a death. Elephants suffer in captivity, their stress leads to tragedy. How many more lives must be lost before we end this abuse? #PeraheraWithoutElephants #EndCaptivity

like so many others in Sri Lanka, this elephant is held captive—denied freedom, exploited, abused, tortured, injured, scarred, denied vet care and medicine and visibly distressed. These majestic beings deserve to live wild, not chained for human rituals, amusement or profit 1/2
