Many years ago humans came to realise that both men & women should be afforded control over our own bodies, that rape was a heinous crime. Yet today we persist in chaining elephants up, affording them no choice and subjecting them to a degrading and humiliating procedure that amounts to RAPE at the hands of humans!
Elephants are highly intelligent sentient beings with a level of self awareness to rival that of humans and yet we believe violating them this way is permissable?
Who knows the mental scars suffering procedures like this over and over leaves on highly aware & intelligent elephants?
This violation is only carried out so the zoo going public can see 'cute' elephant calves during their visit 😢
Is this a price elephants should pay for our moments of enjoyment?

Morioka Zoo in Japan
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IN JAPAN 🇯🇵 - VETS FOR HIRE❗️
Two European vets,Frank Goeritz & Thomas Hildebrandt,said to be “elephant specialists”,consider this zoo (see video below) to be an appropriate environment for an African elephant to not only reside in, but also raise a calf in? So much so that they have travelled to Japan and artificially inseminated lone elephant Mao (22yrs) at Morioka Zoo.
Is there any dump that Frank Goeritz & Thomas Hildebrandt would consider so species inappropriate that they would refuse to inseminate an elephant? Do they draw the line anywhere? Or is future welfare & wellbeing of elephants unimportant so long as they get paid?💰 How ethical is performing AI on an elephant cruelly confined in dire conditions?
🇯🇵Japan's zoos have a torrid history of poor welfare & cruelty especially with regard to elephants. Morioka Zoo where the insemination took place, has kept 3 African elephants,Hanako died aged just 10 years and Taro died aged 27. Mao is the only surviving elephant. The only previous pregnancy at this zoo resulted in a still birth.
Given the apparent lack of regard for elephant welfare it should come as no surprise that these same vets were the lone 'experts' that said elephant Lucy in Edmonton Zoo, Canada should remain suffering in situ rather than relocating to sanctuary!
🐾 Ironically this duo also work with animal welfare NGO FOUR PAWS treating elephants who are ailing due to poor living conditions & care and yet despite seeing the tragic outcomes first hand these vets are happy to help ensure more elephants suffer in poor confinement so long as the price is right!
Perhaps FOUR PAWS should reconsider which “consultants” they use?
No “elephant expert” worth their salt would consider the enclosure at Morioka Zoo to be close to being species appropriate, It would or should be apparent to any ‘expert’ that an elephant residing in this death trap will suffer terribly and yet Goeritz & Hildebrandt ha
Four wild caught elephants from Zimbabwe (arrived 2018) now forced to exist in unnatural and DANGEROUS conditions at DUBAI SAFARI PARK, UAE.
UAE zoo's have a torrid history of orchestrating the capture of endangered elephants from the wilds of Africa and subjecting them to a deprived life in their species unsuitable climate.
It seems International conventions (CITES) are no match for Arab money! 🤬🤬 #CONinConservation #ZooLifeIsNoLife #uaelife #UAETouristVisa #dubai #DubaiLifestyle #dubaitravel #dubaitravelguide
Elephant Concentration Camp Fuji Safari Park, Japan
🇯🇵 Japan a wealthy modern country and yet this modern outlook fails to transmit into the way captive elephants are held 😢
⛔️ FUJI SAFARI PARK is a concrete concentration camp for elephants, a place where they are sent to suffer and die!
Japan and 🇱🇦 Laos PDR (who sell or rent the elephants to Japan) should be utterly ashamed and CITES under whose watch this is still happening, should reconsider what they deem to be ‘appropriate locations’ . There is NOTHING elephant appropriate at FUJI SAFARI PARK!

Karachi Zoo Suffering
Elephants and all animals deserve better than this 🤬!
⛔️CLOSE KARACHI ZOO NOW!!!
Karachi Zoo
Modern day Karachi, Pakistan🇵🇰 where corruption rules and compassion for the voiceless seems to be lost! This elephant is not old but in her teens, her severe ailments the product of a total absence of care or elephant expertise along with her species unsuitable enclosure! A far cry from the wild and free existence she was born into before a soulless Tanzanian government captured and sold her to the highest bidder under the guise of a ‘gift’ without any thought for what Pakistan or the Karachi Zoo could offer to elephants! This is what happens when Rogue African states seek to profit from wildlife export.
🙏It is hoped that a team from Four Paws International will reach the ailing elephant Noor Jehan to offer treatment before it’s too late.
Once more an NGO and kind hearted donors money must be used to mop up the mess left by corrupt governments and uncaring substandard zoos!
.......and zoos claim to be about conservation
