Working elephant in camp
The elephant still is working on the field and in the jungle, but mostly used for the ride with local tourists.
Peachey stated that elephants are almost predisposed to cooperate and work with humans as long as they are treated with respect and sensitivity.
Elephants in captivity can be trained to perform a variety of tasks. In Thailnd for example, elephants are ridden by forest rangers to patrol national forests and for entertainment by tourists.
In Burma where this elephant comes from it assist in logging operations.

Arbeitselefanten sind für viele Touristen ein NoGo. Aber wir kennen uns mit der Not der Bevölkerung vor Ort, die eventuell keine Maschinen für die Arbeit haben, eben nicht aus. Und es scheint ja auch genügend Touristen zu geben, die auf den Elefanten reiten.LG Anja
