Elephant Walk

On a dirt road in a jungle path in the north something came.
On the subject of elephants They are wonderful creatures to feel how small we all are. They can pull bus. And with their trunk lift hundreds of pounds and tear down a wall. However the weak point of an elephant is his back. He can only carry two hundred kilos. The mount people ride them on at the parks and nature centers are a hundred kilos.

The you get the western tourist paying for an hour ride. The tourist and friends tip the scale and can endanger the elephant with their added weight combined with the mount. The lines start at 8:00 in the morning and go until the park closes. There is only one lunch break and a wash down to cool them off. After, they begin again until sunset. No one weighs the tourist that may contain one person to an entire family on an elephant's back.

The elephant just keeps going and in time in pain and with developed back problems From carrying the weight of happy tourist close to 4000 times in a year which has nothing to do with special occasions as in shows and Indian weddings and alternative labor.
