Bangkok, THAILAND - Nude models tied by chains and holding a banner reading "Elephants should be free" pose for a new ad by the Ethical Treatment of Animals Asia-Pacific (PETA) in Bangkok.
According to PETA approximately 3000 of Thailand's estimated 4500 endangered elephants are in private hands while most are used as tourists attractions in elephant camps, where they are forced to perform circus-style tricks and give rides.
