An elephant used for tours in Cambodia died the other day due to exhaustion and heatstroke. Because of this, tour operators vow to lessen working hours of elephants.
In a report by Daily Mail, they said that the 45-year old elephant collapsed after being forced to carry tourists in 45C temperature. The animal died of apparent heatstroke.
Reports say that the poor animal was a female elephant named Sambo. The animal who died due to heatstroke was used by tour operators to carry tourists around the temples including the famous Angkor Wat just outside Siam Reap.
Because of the photos of the dead elephant which circulated in social media, the authorities were forced to amend the elephant ride tour industry.
