Elephant Rides Gaining Popularity in Africa

Of the 2,000 elephants around the world being used for entertainment, some 200 are in Africa — a trend that animal rights activists say is growing as African elephants are becoming a fixture of southern Africa’s burgeoning tourist industry.

But animal rights activists say the image of happy tourists mounted atop a tranquil elephant is anything but a pretty picture. The U.S. Humane Society has long said the practice is cruel, inhumane — and dangerous to both humans and elephants.

The organization says, “Cruelty that may not be evident to spectators often occurs behind the scenes in various forms — in abusive training methods used to try to control animals of this size, in chaining them for many hours a day, and in depriving them of social contact with other elephants.” It adds that elephants are unpredictable, prone to rampages and also can carry diseases, like tuberculosis.
