The artist, who makes people cry with her comics, this time drew the sad fate of a baby elephant in captivity

German illustrator Jenny-Jinya is known for bringing fans to tears with her illustrations! Her comics show, how cruel humans can be to some animals. Jenny, who now has 287 thousand followers on Instagram, proves that some people are just not immune to animal cruelty, animal abandonment, pollution and other hardships.

This time, Jenny is back with one heartbreaking comic that raises awareness of how cruel and harmful elephant riding can be. They are taken from their families as puppies and forced to live in captivity, where they are constantly terrorized. Jenny is convinced that if more tourists knew how elephants are tortured to tame them, maybe fewer people would support these "attractions".

Get the tissues ready and see the comic below. When you're done, scroll through the illustrator's other powerful comics that include a black cat, a duck, an albatross and a lion.

The story of an elephant in captivity

 

*Please do not ride elephants!

Elephants are taken from their mothers and families in the wild as puppies. They will then be beaten and terrorized in a cage for several days. This is called an "elephant or training crush". The puppies are tied up and beaten with bull clubs and other instruments specially designed to cause pain. They do this for so long that their elephant spirit is broken and they are willing to obey their "trainers" to avoid pain.

At least half of these elephants live in terrible conditions. They are prevented from socializing with other elephants and do not receive veterinary care.

By riding elephants, you are also supporting their dehydration, damaged feet and foot ulcers. You are advocating that they are chained and exposed to the heat for long periods of time. And of course "trainin crush" from their little feet.

The story of the black cat

*Even in 2019, black cats are still associated with superstition, witches and black magic in many countries. Black pets thus stay longer in shelters and have less chance of being adopted compared to pets of other colors.

There are many black cats in shelters. In Great Britain alone, according to the RSPCA, 70 percent of the more than 1,000 cats in their care are black or black and white. This is called the "black cat syndrome".

Some shelters do not allow black cats to be adopted from the beginning of September to the end of November, as people are supposed to use them as sacrificial lambs in various rituals.

A story about a family of ducks

*When I was leaving Berlin, a bus was driving in front of me. The smaller family of ducklings was already almost on the other side of the road, only three ducklings were slightly behind. If the bus had waited 2 or 3 seconds or just slowed down a little, they would have survived, but it ran over them. Please brake for ducks. They are just small families who would like to live their own lives. Let me add that, of course, do not endanger yourself and others when you drive. But if you have the chance to slow down for a family of ducks, please do.

The story of a captive lion in a circus

*Lions, elephants, tigers and other wild animals are still captives of circuses and forced to perform. They do these tricks because they fear the consequences of not doing it.

Circuses without animals already exist, and they delight visitors without showing animals.

Please do not support this cruelty.

The story of the albatross

*"Plastic waste found in 90 percent of seabirds, new study says."

Plastics found in birds include bags, bottle caps, synthetic fibers from clothing and smaller rice-like particles that have been broken down by the sun and water. The study found that seabird populations declined by 67 percent between 1950 and 2010. Albatrosses are more likely to ingest plastic, as they fish by gliding their beaks on the surface of the water, thus inadvertently picking up plastic from the surface of the water.
