Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka is a major tourist attraction. There is an inhumane act that takes place here daily to entertain the visitors and make money. Baby elephants are manacled on both front and back legs, so that visitors can purchase a milk bottle and feed the restrained baby. But the actual reason for this brutality is to train them for future ownership, which is totally against the original concept of Pinnawela Orphanage. The babies born here should be with their mothers suckling milk from them amongst the herd. The babies are restless, anxious and terrified and want to break lose. The solution is for the visitors to view the babies and the herds in their natural environment, for which money can be charged, if necessary. Visitors be mindful not to subscribe to this inhumanity. Sign and share please.
