According to a recent BBC article, more than 70 captive elephants have died due to unnatural conditions at a young age in private custody across Southeast Asia over the past few years. Most of these deaths are due to torture, abuse, overwork or faulty management practices. Lack of space and habitat to exercise and graze in natural surroundings means elephants lodged in captivity are shackled for long hours in concrete sheds with stone floors. This is enough to make the animal sick.

Captive elephants are a lucrative trade. The owner of an elephant can easily make a large amount of money for a single day's appearance at a religious festival during the busy season. Elsewhere, chained and saddled elephants are used for rides, carting tourists up and down steep slopes.
