Two Asian elephants push their trunks over a stadium barrier and into the crowd at Thailand's largest elephant festival in the northeast town of Surin on November 17, 2007. Elephant conservationists worry that captive elephants, considered beasts of burden in Thailand, have little protection from abuse if their owners work them all day to bring in more tourist dollars.
