Behind the Scenes in Sri Lanka - the Kandy Temple's Perahera - Happening NOW!
These are temple elephants used in the Kandy Esala Perahera - an event that's considered to be the holiest Buddhist event in Sri Lanka. Elephants have been used in this 'perahera' (procession) from time immemorial as the elephant was considered the royal animal back in the day. So to this day, they relive the past glory by following this age old tradition of carrying the tooth relic on a tusker's back. Other officials also ride on the back of the elephants. However, what has changed, probably since the days of the kings, is how these animals are treated. As you can see in this video, they are brutally abused by their so called 'caretakers' - mahouts who pretend to be their 'family' are stabbing them and maiming them away from the public eye. This never before seen candid footage has captured this to the shock and horror of many. In the video, the man who is yelling (sounds like a mahout) is saying "Anapiya anapiya! Kakulata!" (Anapiya - stab it, Kakulata - in the leg). You can then see the men with bull hooks stabbing them hard in the foot and leg area.
The Kandy Esala Perahera is visited by thousands of locals, and many foreign tourists from all over the world flock to Kandy in the month of August to see this. You need to realize that what you are patronizing and supporting is animal cruelty of the highest order.
It's really extremely shocking to see supposedly the most 'venerated' elephants such as the ones serving in this buddhist Esala perahera being brutally abused in this manner. The public think that these animals are treated like royalty and consider them 'BLESSED' as these animals are the 'CHOSEN ONES' that carry the most important relics and individuals in the holy ceremony. Hopefully now they will see the Esala perahera for the sham that it is. And if the ESALA perahera, which is meant to be the most prestigious and holy of peraheras treats it’s elephants in this manner, then you can just imagine how the temple elephants who serve in lesser known peraheras are treated.
Please do NOT support this animal cruelty by going to see Sri Lanka’s Kandy Esala Perahera. Let your voice be heard, please go to Trip Advisor and leave your comments: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g304138-d1002…
