      Sadly i witnessed first hand some of the treatment the Elephants get, they routinely have humans riding on them all day, and the trainer has a sharp tool that he used to stick in the Elephants ears, which were bleeding and seeping.
      Same with bears and Tigers. The bears were completely shaved and forced to do tricks for a cheering crowd, it was heart wrenching and pitiful watching this almost deformed looking bear parading around just skin and bones. Something that has stayed with me through the years.
      This was back in 2001, hopefully animal welfare have stepped in since then.

      Just think for a moment use that tiny pea sized brain of yours. How would an elephant be able to understand complex shaping to paint itself at such detail? We DO in fact have paintings made by much more intelligent animals, in particular Gorillas, and even though they are highly intelligent they have nowhere close to an understanding of structure and shapes. They have a good idea about coloring and using colors to paint something you can discern but nothing that comes as close to what this video depicts, again, those where Gorillas. Much more intelligent.

      Her trunk is being controlled by the mahout hiding beside her front legs. These elephants naturally would be naughty trying to play with each other. The reason they don't move is because they are pressing a nail in the flap of their ears, causing pain and reminding them of punishment.

      She is not painting. The mahout hiding beside her front legs takes control of her trunk and maneuvering it around the canvas. Elephants wouldn't even pick up a brush voluntarily for the tip of her trunk has very sensitive nerve endings that it is painful to hold anything for very long there. People need to know that Thailand cruelly uses elephants for profit.
      The one horrible things that is done here is these youngsters are the result of being torn from their mothers in the wild and put through extreme cruel and inhumane training till they lose their spirits and begin the rest of their lives obeying their human owners.
      This is not natural behavior for them. They would be running a muck playing with each other and being mischievous. Where they have a nail being pressed into the sensitive part of the ears, they dare not to stray.

      Tbh, they don't look in a bad shape to me.

      Same goes for zoos and nature reserves, some mistreat their animals, some don't.
      Elephants are actually really smart creatures and I think I've hear of studies proving they can feel pleasure doing things like painting.
      Plus, looking at the communication means they had in African countries 10 years ago (when this video was posted), I don't think those elephants caretakers knew about their capacity to learn how to paint before seeing them into action.
      Rather than being tortured to learn, it seems more likely to me that they simply imitated humans after seeing them paint because they found it entertaining.
      We only saw 15 minutes of them without context, so we can't tell for sure how things are for them behind the curtains.

    • @allisonkoester4758
      @allisonkoester4758 3 года назад +1

      Mowd Cridhe Bunny Well, not really. I can understand how maybe an elephant would enjoy picking up a paintbrush and slapping some paint onto a canvas but there is absolutely no way that this elephant was painting that picture of its own volition. As smart as they are, elephants don’t have the brainpower necessary to conjure up abstract representations of real world things like that. There is only one explanation: she was forcibly trained to do that. Remember that elephants aren’t like dogs; they won’t simply do whatever you say in favor of food. Instead, elephants must be “broken,” typically through corporal punishment or being confined into very small cages until they bend to the will of their master. If you see an elephant doing literally any kind of trick, gimmick, or unnatural interaction with humans, 99% of the time they’re doing it because they have no other choice.

      ⁠​⁠@@user-zd4hi8kf5wI’m sorry to break it down, but what he says is true, elephants are definitely smart creatures but this is way too fishy if you think about it. By the time now she is probably 18 years old, I know this because this video is 14 years old and the description confirms she was 4 during this time. Alright let’s get into it, first, being able to draw that good for being an elephant and being four years old is way too fishy, elephants use their trunks to reach out for food in the wild not for painting obviously. Source: this is just a prediction of mine, and could be wrong.
      2nd, if I were to clarify off screen they have a stick thing called a “bull hook”, this is used to jab at sensitive areas of the elephant, such as the ears of the elephant. Thy chain down the elephants so they can be able to restrain them leaving the elephant hopeless. This makes the elephants spirit broken as they can do nothing about it. Source: World animal protection
      3rd, so? How do they get the elephants trained so well? They obviously take the young elephants since they are vulnerable and weak. A full grown elephant might’ve been way too strong or it’s mind would be strong enough to not be demanded orders. The young will be tied to wooden structures which the owners will be beating them repetitively, this will cause them to walk awkwardly which probably is a sign of pain and injury.
