Target: Prime Minister
Region: GLOBAL
Background (Preamble):
Dear Sir,
As an animal protector we are sorry to hear of the situation of elephants in Thailand. The animal protection organisation PETA is urging the government of Thailand to immediately enact laws to prohibit the cruel treatment, confinement, and training of elephants and ban the use of elephants for commercial or entertainment purposes. The purpose of the laws is to protect these sensitive, intelligent, and highly endangered animals from future abuse. If passed and enforced by the government of Thailand, Phaajaan, as we know it today, would cease to exist.
With the numbers of elephants in the world dwindling, Thailand should be a role model for other countries in establishing and promoting elephant protection at home and abroad. Tourists would flock to Thailand to observe herds of elephants from a distance roaming freely in sanctuaries instead of performing circus tricks on command. Please watch the video showing how these elephants are broken.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, appeal to the government of Thailand to realize the serious problematic conditions for elephants and to act to control cruel treatment.
The reported tortures require an executive abolishment of cruelties to the elephants as much as other protected animals.
