The Perahera festivals have started in Sri Lanka. Here is a classic example of how elephants endure suffering, frustration and pain when they are sick of this. Chained and subject to extreme heat and noise, repetitive head-bobbing (sign of trauma) and fire and costumes! This is very sad. Is this the life you want for this intelligent, sensitive animal?

A heart breaking video of an elephant that is waiting to be paraded in the Esala Perahera, Sri Lanka's most revered cultural event. Most don't know that elephants are starved before the perahera pageant so that they don't defecate as they are made to walk the parade (shackled under the costumes, poked with the "henduwa"/Ankus/bull hook).
