With the overwhelming support of nearly 200,000 animal advocates, we have taken a monumental step in the fight against the exploitation of elephants in tourist activities such as elephant rides in Thailand.
Together, we are pushing for a historic change to protect these majestic creatures from cruel treatment and commercial exploitation.
You recently helped our team in Thailand deliver a petition to the Office of the Prime Minister of Thailand, Srettha Thavisin, to pass the Elephant Protection Bill.
This overwhelming support sends a clear message to the Thai government that the world is watching and demanding change.
Your involvement has been crucial in bringing this issue to the forefront and pressuring lawmakers to take action.
The Elephant Protection Bill
The Elephant Protection Bill, which our team in Thailand helped draft, aims to end the cruel practice of captive breeding elephants for profit.
If enacted, a dedicated committee will be appointed to oversee the law’s implementation, ensuring the protection of captive elephants and promoting ethical tourism practices in Thailand.
Your role in ending elephant exploitation
Sustained pressure and support from individuals like you are essential in advancing the Elephant Protection Bill and ensure tourism venues in Thailand follow the new laws.
Your continued advocacy can help make this the last generation of elephants subject to such cruelty.
Together, we can create a future where elephants are no longer exploited for elephant rides and other cruel activities in the name of tourism.
