The artist whose animal comics made people cry is back with a new one. This one is about an elephant. Jenny-Jinya is a German artist who is famous for making her fans cry. When people saw her drawings, they would cry because they showed how mean people can be to animals. Jenny has an amazing 285K Instagram followers, which shows that people can be hurt by animal abuse, neglect, pollution, environmental threats, and other problems. Jenn made a comic about an elephant this time. You can find more animal-themed pictures at Uhstories.com.
Jenny is back with another awful comic that shows how dangerous and rough elephant rides can be. It turns out that animals are taken from their families in the wild and left to live in cages, where they are constantly scared. Get some tissue ready, and read the picture below.
Jenny thinks that ‘attractions’ might not get as much support if more tourists knew how elephants are abused to make them submit. The artist told me that after this sketch came out, she got a lot of messages from people who said they had ridden elephants before. She said, “They had no idea how these animals were “taught.”

A group called World Animal Protection says that more and more people want to ride elephants for fun. The BBC says that in the last five years, the number of elephants taken from the wild and kept as pets has grown by about one-third.
WAP looked at 3000 elephants that lived in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and some parts of India in 2016. Then they found out that only 200 of them were kept in good conditions. “We want tourists to know that many of these elephants are taken from their mothers as babies, forced to go through hard training, and live in bad conditions their whole lives,” said Dr. Jan Schmidt-Burbach, a worldwide wildlife and veterinary consultant at World Animal Protection (WAP).
People said what they thought about elephant.
