Thanks everyone for your comments. I’m sure there’s not much hope for an urban elephant when the cities we build can’t sustain people. We have a long journey ahead if this animal is to be saved. The great thing about the discussion is that they discussed how complex this problem is. We have to combine rebuilding natural habitats with offering alternatives and education to people. The problem is much bigger than enforcing laws to keep the elephants off the street. I believe this is the beginning of a discussion to create solutions. Please keep sharing these ideas.

ive always been torn about supporting the manhots who bring elepants through town. i lived in roi et for a year and met many elephant handlers and elephants. what would happen to both if we stopped supporting them? the elephant is important to thailand. unfortunatly if its not seen people forget. i appreciate the sad side of elephants in bkk, but i wonder if there is not a place for the urban elephant in our society.

It is really a shame that Thailand so relatively so little to protect the wildlife. Here in Korat I see a nunber of eliphants walking in the heat with its owners who try to make a few bucks of the foreigners and locals.

I love elephants, they are so freaking cute in a weird way. It is sad when you see people who try to train them go over board and beat them, it will make the elephants turn on humans and then they can get hurt.
