Ever wonder where circus, zoo, and trekking elephants come from? The majority are captured from the wild. This is footage from Myanmar of wild elephant captures. Yes, this continues today at an alarming rate.

  • Actually, I believe teak logging is illegal throughout Burma except for the SPDC military (they make their own rules) and they do not compensate the workers very well if at all.

  • Its all about building trust. They love her! Even though they came to elphant nature park crazy from hears of abuse. Even Leks family have disowned her but she pushes on. you can volunteer at elephant nature park for a day or a week and help end this shocking abuse.

  • near the burmese border a little lady called lek has captured the hearts of the world with her new baby elephant training in the hope to change the cruelty to training of elephants. She has over 30 rescued elephants that have had horrific torture and now are allowed to be elephants at elephantnaturepark. please support Lek!

  • the worst method of capturing an elephant, it is truly a cruelty look at its neck, poor creature.. man is now beast.

  • This is so hard to watch... All animal and human abuse hurts me to watch.

    I believe in karma. What comes around will always go around.

  • This was hard to watch. The look in that elephants eyes as if you could literally see its spirit breaking was heartbreaking for me.

    I am glad that this video is out so that others can see the truth about what is really going on and how these animals are captured and abused.

    This has to end!

  • In some ways, this is very sad. In other ways, for some Burmans, not these, it is a way of life. These Burmans sell them, others care for them. These others I am talking about, are isolated Teak harvestors

  • There was once a time when the elephant was thought of as being speritual. they would cary kings into battle and have the best of the best martial artist to protect there legs.
