PJPom Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 In my youth Horses were quite commonly used , the Milkman, the Coalman and the Brewery all used horses. They were used,not misused and treated as valuable assets, I would be surprised if a Thai Mahout treated his main scource of income any differently . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humbug Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 its slavery for animals should be a crime to use animals in any such way if a human died working hard under the scorching sun for his paymaster it would be called abuse. No different for the animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Dude Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Working an elephant to death for lumber in the hot sun really is douchebag worthy. They need to be sanctioned in some form or another...pretty bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
