The dark secrets of Thailand’s elephant tourism industry

I don't recall mentioning lions. No need for me to ask myself anything. I did, however, ask you 5 questions. As yet, unanswered questions. -
The dark secrets of Thailand’s elephant tourism industry

" animals bred for human enjoyment"? Isn't that a contradiction? Are there no wild horses? Aren't horses historically wild? You do know that the majority of elephants in the shows and on the streets have been born in captivity, don't you? -

With many of the forests, the elephants natural habitat, cut down, the only real alternative is euthanasia. Is that what people want? It's not what the mahouts want. Most of the experiences I have had with elephants and their mahouts have been good ones. The elephants have been in the lower Issan area, predominately Surin, for centuries. The Gui people being the original mahouts. Maybe it is the humans that should move away from the elephants' territory. Don't forget to release the buffaloes, dogs, horses and any other animals that might be deemed "domesticated" on the way out. -
You have obviously not kept up. I'm not saying there is not a difference However, for entertainment value it's good to watch. No laying on the floor crying over a scratch, no arguing with the referee, no acting like prima donnas. Anyhow, it seems your link points to an exhibition match. "The Wrexham squad was composed of former, current and guest players and the U.S. squad was composed of former players including World Cup winner Heather O’Reilly."

No, I didn't. I'm not wrong. I stated a fact. Let's see: I invite anyone on this forum to hold their hands up and say "Wow. I'm shocked someone has died in a warzone". That is, with no reference to who the deceased are, what they were doing in the war zone, who they were representing or who killed them. No discrimination, no blame, no taking sides.
