8 Roadside Zoos That Have Used Pain To Force Elephants To Give Rides, Paint, Or Other Tricks

Last edited Thu Aug 28, 2025, 11:59 PM - Edit history (1)

True sanctuaries don't force animals to perform tricks, and they don't use "training" methods that involve weapons.
To make elephants learn demeaning tricks, handlers beat, shock, and punish them.

Through pain and fear, elephants are forced to learn confusing routines that have no connection to their natural instincts and conduct.

That keep animals imprisoned and / or forced to provide entertainment.

I recognize that there are a few places where the animals receive humane treatment and I thank those organizations.

Many of us went to zoos and circuses with our kids and weren’t aware that the all animals have awareness and they all fell pain. It’s time to do better. Animals are individuals and deserve to live their lives in their natural habitat.
