The Perahera festivals have started in Sri Lanka. Here is a classic example of how elephants endure suffering, frustration and pain when they are sick of this. Chained and subject to extreme heat and noise, repetitive head-bobbing (sign of trauma) and fire and costumes! This is very sad. Is this the life you want for this intelligent, sensitive animal?

Another elephant violently attacks at the Bellanwila Temple Perahera (Sri Lanka). This is out of sheer frustration, exhaustion and the result of a life lived as a slave in chains.

A heart breaking video of an elephant that is waiting to be paraded in the Esala Perahera, Sri Lanka's most revered cultural event. Most don't know that elephants are starved before the perahera pageant so that they don't defecate as they are made to walk the parade (shackled under the costumes, poked with the "henduwa"/Ankus/bull hook). So wake up, friends. THIS is how Sri Lanka is taking care of an animal that is extinct. Our biggest opponents are those who are trying to protect "culture and r

Perahera is an event that attracts people from around the world, promoted for its grandeur by tour companies, and attended by Buddhists with deep faith.

On top of this, their heads are decorated with hot, heavy lightbulbs. How many people in the crowd truly look into
