What’s the point about riding animals? The good news is: Riding animals helped us travel further, and avoid hazards on the ground, and save time as we travel. Also, riding animals can be a fun activity to do,–as long as you use positive reinforcement training. The less painful training methods; the better!
Although; some animal advocates has brought these cruel trainers to light, revealing the actual truth of how animals are trained for riding, in some cases; an elephant can intentionally eject a cruel mahout to get out of misery and escape.
If you were concerned about animal welfare at fairgrounds; new policies needed to be implemented to keep cruel trainers at bay. And remember: Church is no excuse for cruelty to animals. No person via any faith is above the law!
