Maikhao Elephant Home的点评
点评：Horrible experience watching the elephants clearly distressed swaying side to side repeatedly which is a visible sign of trauma. They showed a lot of distress, the smaller elephant made uncomfortable sounds twice as the mahout hurt his ear. You can see the pain in their eyes, they are not dancing out of enjoyment, it is a sign of physical and psychological abuse and elephants sway as a way of soothing themselves from this.
I found it incredibly distressing, it’s clear these elephants have been through psychological trauma to be conditioned to pose for photos and only have a metre to move. They also picked their feet up from the floor which again is signs of physical abuse as their feet aren’t made to stand on the hard floor for hours. They are over exposed, surrounded by humans and loud music from nearby restaurants in the evenings which causes further distress.
After reading about the way elephants are broken in and removed from their mother’s and put in the crush (small wooden frame) from an early age and beaten until they perform for humans, I find it utterly heartbreaking. These elephants should be free, they are not entertainment. You can see physical signs of abuse as there are changes in colour on top of their forehead, this is where they have been physically hurt causing markings and change in colour.
They deserve a better life and I felt so sad that I was powerless to help them. Please do not visit.

翻译：亲眼目睹这些明显痛苦的大象反复左右摇晃，这是遭受创伤的明显迹象，这真是一次可怕的经历。它们表现出极大的痛苦，其中一头体型较小的象因为象夫弄伤了耳朵而两次发出难听的声音。你可以从它们的眼神中看到痛苦，它们并非出于愉悦而跳舞，而是遭受身心虐待的迹象，大象摇晃身体是它们自我安慰的一种方式。
我感到非常痛心，很明显，这些大象经历了心理创伤，被迫摆姿势拍照，而且活动范围只有一米。它们还会抬起脚，这也是遭受身体虐待的迹象，因为它们的脚不可能长时间站在坚硬的地面上。它们过度暴露在外，周围都是人类，晚上还要忍受附近餐馆传来的嘈杂音乐，这进一步加剧了它们的痛苦。
读到大象从小就被驯服、与母亲分离、关进狭小的木框（一种简易的木制围栏）并遭受殴打，直到它们被迫为人类表演的种种经历后，我感到无比心痛。这些大象应该自由自在，它们不是用来娱乐的。它们的额头上有明显的伤痕，颜色也发生了变化，这是它们遭受身体伤害留下的痕迹。
它们值得拥有更好的生活，而我却无能为力，这让我感到非常难过。请不要去参观。
