One picture of two different elephants at different ages, one looking slightly malnourished. I won‘t comment on the substance, because I don’t know anything about elephants aging/physique/etc., but if this counts as evidence for anything we are lost.
I volunteered at WFFT several years ago! Blown away that I recognised Pai Lin instantly - shes one of the Elephants on site I spent most of my time looking after
Shes a sweetheart and as others have said, an elderly Elephant. I want to verify here though for all the other comments saying otherwise, her back was severly damaged by the tourism industry
There are others there that nervously dance as an anxiety tick as they used to do that on the streets for food/donations, another who killed their owner (who kind of deserved it, these ‘show’ elephants are tortured and broken until they obey)
These elephants are getting the best care they can now and are looked after well. I’d strongly suggest donating if you feel moved by this photo!

Old elephant (left), much younger elephant (right).
Don’t just throw some shit up without evidence.
