Target: Badri Prasad Pandey, Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation, Nepal
Goal: Suspend abusive elephant games at the Chitwan Elephant Festival and prioritize compassionate traditions.
The Chitwan Elephant Festival, renowned for its cultural significance, has drawn international criticism for its treatment of elephants. These intelligent, sensitive creatures are reportedly beaten, stabbed, and subjected to cruel training methods to force them into performing in races, polo matches, and football games. Behind the spectacle, these animals apparently endure immense physical and emotional suffering, leaving many injured and traumatized.
Renowned actor and producer John Abraham recently appealed to the Nepalese government, emphasizing that elephants symbolize strength, grace, and wisdom. He highlighted Nepal’s opportunity to lead the way in transitioning to traditions that honor kindness and respect for animals. Observers and organizations, including PETA Asia, claim to have documented handlers using bullhooks, sharp wooden knives, and sticks to control the elephants. Some were reportedly seen with bleeding wounds and enduring relentless abuse.
Nepal is celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. By ending these cruel games, the nation can set a global example of compassion and progress. Urge the Nepalese government to suspend the elephant performances at the Chitwan Elephant Festival and implement alternatives that reflect respect for all living beings.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Minister Badri Prasad Pandey,
The Chitwan Elephant Festival has become a focal point of concern for its treatment of elephants. These magnificent animals are reportedly subjected to inhumane practices, including beatings, stabbing, and physical strain, to force them into performing races and games. Behind the scenes, they allegedly endure training methods that leave them injured and emotionally distressed.
Renowned actor John Abraham has highlighted the potential for Nepal to evolve its traditions to reflect values of kindness and respect. Observers claim to have documented elephants being controlled with bullhooks and other harmful tools, resulting in visible wounds. Such practices undermine the nation’s reputation for valuing its wildlife and natural heritage.
We urge you to take immediate action to suspend the elephant performances at the Chitwan Elephant Festival. By doing so, Nepal can demonstrate leadership in compassionate tourism and ensure a future that honors its cultural traditions while respecting the dignity of all living beings.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Boycotte these so called performances. animals were not put on earth to ‘entertain’ idiots. I think we can talk and plead until we are blue in the face, these savages do as they like.
Typical third world scum, abusing animals. This is the normal way of life in all third world hellholes. Stop millions of non-whites from turning White countries into the same hellholes for animals too – stop immigration, deport all non-whites NOW.
Absolutely unacceptable. I hope all tourists do research on this barbaric country and boycott it . Elephants are magnificent creatures. They should not be abused in any way . They should be free to live like an elephant should.
I can’tbelieve that your God would approve or such cruelty and abuse!
These savages sacrifice hundreds of thousands of animals in ritual beheadings in offer to demonic gods every year. These barbaric monsters are quite insane in their love of animal torture,cruelty and bloodlust. They are fundamentally a nation of satanic, feral, sick creatures who despise all living things. Do some research into it.
ALL THESE CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLES/SO-CALLED PEOPLE SHOULD BE THE ONES BEATEN, STABBED, AND TORTURED AND FORCED TO RACE, POLO MATCHES, AND FOOTBALL GAMES NOT INNOCENT DEFENSELESS ELEPHANTS WHOM ARE SMARTER THAN THESE CRUEL ABUSIVE ASSHOLES AKA PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
