Distressing footage shows Brits on a Thomas Cook tour riding abused ELEPHANTS - two years after the company promised to ban the cruel practice.

Handlers are also seen aggressively prodding and jabbing the animals - which are chained to trees when they’re not working - in a bid to control them.

Student Jai Das, 21, filmed the videos at Sahyadri Spice Plantation in Goa, which he visited with his family as part of an excursion to the region’s Dudhsagar waterfall.

He claims two elephants gave rides to 16 people in one group over the course of an hour and another coach-load of tourists was waiting to take their place.
