The Elephant Whisperers (2022)
Seemed like the poor calves were being used!

The couple claims to be elephant carers but I think they are only a means of income for them. Although their bond does seem genuine to an extent, it also appears like they use these animals for their benefit. Chain them and ride them.
No doubt the forest officials are doing a great job at saving calves but why can't they be rehabilited in a proper manner and reintroduced into the forest when they are old enough?
As an Elephant lover, it was uncomfortable for me to watch the calves being chained and isolated from other elephants!
Yes, the rescuing of orphaned/lost calves may be necessary however raising them in captivity is not! As much as humans like to think that animals require their intervention to survive, they mostly do not!
