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.
