How do elephants feel when they are kept in chains? Discuss and share your feelings.
When elephants are kept in chains, they feel restrained and are unable to do anything. This will make the elephant feel sad and unhappy. Due to this, the elephant may react aggressively or lie down around feeling depressed because of their lack of activity. I strongly feel that just like any other living being, elephants, too, desire freedom, and they should not be chained.

I mainly see dogs around me. They sleep during the day for 4 – 5 hours. They eat meat, rice, milk, bread, etc. As they are active during the night, they give security from thieves and also keep an eye on our homes. If anything abnormal happens, they will attack or start barking loudly. Female dogs give birth to babies, which are called puppies.
