He was abused and used to walk tourists on his back. The poor animal changed 27 owners – all of them cruel.

He was a machine producing money, and when the poor animal has no power to do what the owners ordered, he was punished and brutally beaten.

The elephant was weakened both physically and mentally. There was no one that would stand next to him. So the animal was unable to defend himself.
