This is the shocking moment a pair of elephants are forced to perform tricks and entertain crowds at a zoo in Thailand. San Mueang and Tang Mo were forced to 'rave' to music, 'play' musical instruments and perform tricks for tourists during their years at the notorious Phuket Zoo in the Mueang Phuket District. Footage of the elephants prior to their rescue shows the animals being forced to nod their heads to music and standing on pedestals as music blares in the background. It was later revealed that Phuket Zoo were unaware that the elephant's legs were broken for three days. In Thailand there are an estimated 3,000 elephants, with many living in sanctuaries, elephant parks, zoos and tourist resorts.
