Behind every happy elephant… there’s a giant deworming tablet and a team praying they actually swallow it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ’Š

Regular deworming is a huge part of elephant healthcare. It helps protect them from internal parasites that can cause weight loss, weakness, poor digestion, dull skin, and serious health complications. Healthy tummy = healthy elephant ❀️

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE – ELEPHANT ANKLE RESTRAINTS 🚨

At Millennium Elephant Foundation, we are proud to be the FIRST organization in Sri Lanka to introduce humane ankle restraints as a safer alternative to traditional chains.

This initiative was created with one goal in mind:
🐘 To improve the welfare of captive elephants
πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ To ensure the safety of mahouts, staff, and the public

Over the years, we have carefully developed and tested these restraints to ensure they are strong, reliable, and safe. We have also distributed many of these ankle restraints FREE OF CHARGE to elephant owners across Sri Lanka as part of our commitment to animal welfare.

⚠️ HOWEVER – we are now seeing low-quality, imitation restraints being sold in the market at high prices.

These FAKE restraints are extremely dangerous.

❌ They are not properly tested
❌ They can break under pressure
❌ They put both elephants and humans at serious risk

A broken restraint on an elephant is not a small issue ,it can lead to uncontrollable situations, injuries, and major damage.

We strongly urge all elephant owners and caretakers:

πŸ‘‰ Do NOT purchase or use unverified, imitation restraints
πŸ‘‰ Always ensure your equipment is safe, tested, and responsibly sourced

At MEF, we stand by our responsibility to lead with safe, humane, and ethical practices. This is not just about innovation, it is about protecting lives.

If you need guidance or support regarding proper ankle restraints, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Let’s work together to protect our elephants the right way. πŸ˜πŸ’š
