“The thing that struck us the most was that in Asia on one hand people worship elephants in religion, like Ganesh, the God with elephant head; but in their daily life they don’t care about elephants, on the contrary, they mistreat them. As long as we researched, we realized that the conflict was very complex, for example, there are no laws to protect these animals, because this problem happens in the poorest countries of the world, so the governments have other kinds of concerns”.

“Our goal was to inform and denounce an unknown critical situation; every year millions of tourists visit Asia, pay for riding elephants, and they can’t imagine what a terrible abuse they are contributing to. If we all get informed, we will change our behavior, choosing other kinds of attractions, and the elephant’s shows or rides will cease being profitable, turning into a responsible tourism, respecting animals and preserving them for the future”.
