点评:I strongly encourage travelers to carefully research the realities of this facility before visiting.
During my research into the Elephant Breeding Centre in Sauraha, I found numerous recent visitor accounts, photos, and videos showing elephants — including mothers and calves — being kept chained for prolonged periods with severely restricted movement. Multiple visitors have also described repetitive swaying and rocking behaviors commonly associated with psychological distress in captive elephants.
There are also serious concerns regarding breeding and training practices. Reports and footage appear to show female elephants being physically restrained during breeding attempts involving wild bulls, as well as restraint-based training methods involving confinement, deprivation, and the use of physical correction tools.
Elephants are highly intelligent and social animals with complex emotional and physical needs. Long-term chaining and restrictive management practices are increasingly inconsistent with modern animal welfare standards.
Please research carefully and make informed, compassionate choices before supporting elephant tourism facilities.

翻译:我强烈建议游客在前往参观前仔细了解该机构的实际情况。
在调查索拉哈大象繁育中心的过程中,我发现许多近期游客的描述、照片和视频显示,包括母象和小象在内的许多大象被长期拴住,行动受到严重限制。多位游客还描述了大象反复摇晃身体的行为,这通常是圈养大象心理压力的表现。
此外,繁育和训练方式也令人担忧。报告和视频显示,在尝试与野生公象交配时,母象会被强行束缚;训练方法也包括限制活动、剥夺食物以及使用体罚工具。
大象是高度智慧且具有社会性的动物,它们有着复杂的情感和生理需求。长期拴养和限制性管理方式越来越不符合现代动物福利标准。
请在支持大象旅游项目之前,仔细调查并做出明智且充满爱心的选择。
