Philon the stripper model (megan.milan)

Model Megan Millan visited a sanctuary that saves elephants in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.

But her attempt to like the elephants probably worked too much and one little elephant who wanted to play with her, tore her dress and knocked her to the ground while she tried to avoid him without success - and everything was recorded and uploaded to the web of course.

The media that reported on the incident said that the elephant was only three weeks old and he tried to get close to Megan, but it didn't really end well as you can see.

Even after Megan fell, the young elephant continued to chase her and was on top of her, when he thought they were playing.

In the end, the one who saved Megan was the "big sister" of the elephant, who understood that the game was over.

This video received over 12 million views on Tiktok where it was uploaded with the caption: "Here's the video everyone asked to see."

Most of the commenters were amused by the situation and some wondered why no one helped the model.

Megan later said that she was not injured at all.

"As you can all see, we were just playing. This little guy is only three weeks old. I'm used to being around elephants but I've never been around one that young. So I asked to go see him. He was definitely a bit heavy and strong."

"Take a baby elephant and abuse it until it turns into a zombie"

Every tourist knows that some of the main attractions in Thailand include the use of animals, from riding elephants to petting a tied and drugged tiger to hundreds of spas where there are fish whose job is to remove dead skin from the customers' feet.

Roni Enoshi, an Israeli girl who volunteered for a week at an animal shelter called elephant nature park in Chiang Mai, in the north of the country, published a heartbreaking post on Facebook a few years ago in which she talked about the horrific life of the animals that are used as tourist attractions and go through a never ending mask of abuse.

"The elephants here are terribly mistreated...I didn't sleep last night. I cried all night. On the other side of the park/river there is a park for tourists.

Yesterday a baby elephant was "educated" there. All night I heard screams coming out of his throat and I cried along with him. All the elephants, dogs and cats in our camp. They understand exactly what is happening there and just cry out for his help."

According to her: "I understood what is behind the elephant industry in the East in general and Thailand in particular. The elephants here undergo terrible abuse. A week of 'breaking the soul', 'brainwashing' and breaking every human image that this amazing and enormous life has and it is absolutely amazing in every possible aspect.

"If only If you knew the abuse this life goes through so you can ride it you wouldn't even think about it.

They take a little baby a few months old, imprison him in a kind of wooden dungeon and iron chains and stick metal nails and knives into him, cut him and beat him until he turns into a zombie.

It's a kind of ritual of 3 days 24/7 non stop murderous beatings!!!

"Of course his mom is watching from the sidelines and it makes her blind. They even tie his trunk so he doesn't strangle himself. After 3 days or more, when he can no longer stand on his own he becomes a zombie ready to work and doesn't even recognize his mom. Bleeding mortally wounded ready to entertain tourists".
