[[Elephant|'''Elephants''']] have long been used in tourism, from elephant rides and performances to sanctuaries that claim to provide a safe haven for elephants. However, the reality of elephant tourism is far from idyllic. Elephants used in tourism are often subjected to brutal training techniques such as the [[phajaan]], where baby elephants are separated from their mothers and tortured until they learn to obey their handlers.
