Thanks for this link, Crellston. And I love that they give a number of ethical and humane places for people to interact with elephants - more than I knew about.
I'm cutting and pasting the ones they mention for people whop won't click on links:
"Thailand has emerged at the forefront of ethical elephant tourism, with reputable sanctuaries including the pioneering Elephant Nature Park and Burm and Emily’s Elephant Sanctuary both near Chiang Mai, the Surin Project in the northeast of the country, and Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary, near Sukhothai.
Elsewhere in Southeast Asia there is the Elephant Valley Project at Sen Monorom in northeastern Cambodia, and the Elephant Conservation Center in Sayaboury Province in Laos.
Ethical elephant tourism in South Asia is considerably less well developed. In Sri Lanka, the fledgling Elephant Freedom Project near Kandy and the Elephant Conservation and Care Center, Mathura are currently leading the way."
