Elephants and tourism.
Abstract
This chapter looks at the animal abuse behind the front stage of tourism experiences involving Asian elephants. It also considers whether elephant tourism and the captive breeding of elephants can be a means of preserving wild populations in the face of destruction of natural habitats. Also addressed is the question of whether there can be ethical elephant tourism experiences.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
