27 JUNE 2011 - CHIANG MAI, THAILAND: A tourist feeds an elephant cow at the Elephant Nature Park near Chiang Mai, Thailand. Elephant Nature Park rescues working elephants abused by the owners. Many of the rescued elephants used to work "begging" in the tourist districts of Bangkok and other Thai cities. A few of the elephants were injured by landmines on the Thai-Burma border. Tourists are not allowed to come into close contact with bull elephants because they are more unpredictable and aggressive than the cows. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
