I have lived in Thailand and am intimately involved with animal rescue foundations/ Every elephant in Thailand, with very rare exceptions, that is trained for entertainment, riding, or labor, have been taken away from their mothers at an early age and put through a prolonged process of 'breaking' the elephant's will through traumatizing pain and fear. This is a long standing process called Phajaan (Crushing), where a mother's love is replaced by pain and fear. Once the elephant is broken and compliant, then further 'training' takes place with a hook to inflict yet more pain. When the elephants are not performing they are often chained, away from the eyes of the public. A terrible life. This video is being used to glorify this elephant's talent and to perpetuate this practice for profit. Tourists need to wake up and BOYCOTT any and all elephant shows, riding, and any venue that puts elephants in any situation other than living in their natural environment. Please practice due diligence and patronize bonafide sanctuaries, which are usually 'look but don't touch' venues, allowing elephants to be elephants in their natural habitat with companions. Elephants do not enjoy painting but are merely performing what they have been trained to do under duress and the threat of pain.love They would much prefer to live free in a proper sanctuary, and never feel chains or hooks again. Let's promote the welfare of these majestic creatures. Feel free to fact check everything I've written. Look up Phajaan (Crushing). Please donate to Elephant Rescue Foundations if you're able. Don't contribute to their misery. Thank You for your consideration in becoming part of the movement to improve the lives of these gentle giants by allowing them to live with the dignity they deserve. Make the world a better place.

Мы все привыкли, ещё со школьных времён, к репродукциям образцов наскальной живописи, на подавляющем числе которых изображены древние животные и сцены охоты на них. Кто- нибудь из вас задумывался о том, что они радикально отличаются от всего, что изображалось после них- древнеегипетских, шумерских, центральноамериканских, гигантских скандинавских и т.п. образцах древнего искусства? На них- стиль, пропорции, перспектива (вернее- её отсутствие), потрясающий динамизм при сохранении пропорциональности изображённых объектов, среди которых отсутствуют изображения ландшафта либо искусственных сооружений. Вам не кажется это странным? Конечно же нет, потому, что нам вдалбливали, что древние были всего лишь развитыми полуобезьянами, почти что даунами. Но ещё Кун-Фу-Цзы говорил, что истина никогда не бывает одна для всех, их как минимум- две. А вопрос этот возник у меня после просмотра You Tube'ских видеоклипов о рисовании картин слонами (можете набрать в Google запрос "слон рисует картину"- и получите множество ссылок),хотя бы kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4TMgpmue9d_p9E, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX_SmJemfcqon6c&feature=related. Присмотритесь повнимательнее, разве это не похоже на "классическую" наскальную живопись? После просмотра- оторопь берёт, когда "дикий глупый зверь, поведением которого управляют только условные рефлексы и инстинкты" начинает рисовать цветок, который слон несёт к людям... С 1990-х не могу ходить в зоопарки, вместо удовольствия- дикий стресс, словно экскурсия в тюрьму где в клетках пожизненно сидят полуголодные не мытые зэки, а некоторые, как те же слоны, вообще навечно прикованы кандалами к стальным швеллерам для потехи посетителей, их бивни всегда отпилены (кому- то "на память") под предлогом безопасности посетителей. Кто разговаривает со своими кошками и собаками- тот меня поймёт. Из всего сказанного мною напрашивается странный и парадоксальный вывод: а кто же на самом деле рисовал на скалах и в пещерах? Действительно ли люди? А может- это любознательные мохнатые мамонтята выплёскивали своё горе, изображая кусками мягких разноцветных камней, как схематически набросанные короткими штрихами человечки протыкают палками тщательно и подробно выписанных мамонтов- родителей этих "глупых зверей"?

The truth about these lovely paintings kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGOxapWimdCHg7s

The pain, torture and truth behind these paintings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LWmGB7eMh4i80

The truth. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LWmGB7eMh4i80

they do abuse these animals to a degree i think just search it kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LWmGB7eMh4i80 painting elephant abuse they train them to pait this they do the same one everyday .

meanwhile ppl make a big thing about this white shredder gimmick art bullshit www.theverge.com/2018/10/7/17947744/banksy-ballon-girl-artwork-self-destructed-sothbys

It's a lot less tiring than pulling logs.

This is absolutely unnatural act of Elephants that they made to do by Humans. Guys, please help Elephants living their own ways. Not to entertain people. Elephants in Show, they undergo lots of stress. If they don't perform the way they trained, they get pinched through their ears with the mahout's sharp nail, so it is a forced act. Some intelligent ones will paint from repetitive practice, but even then that's not what the elephants chose to do.

Please do some research before posting things like this !! this is SAD and CRUEL : stop being ignorant! www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/why-making-an-elephant-paint-is-cruel-not-cute/

Wake up tourists, learn how these elephants are trained. Cruel NOT cute at all

Ah elephant cruelty. Trained using a nail cage & ropes. Poor animal horrible trade

ANIMAL ABUSE

ANIMAL ABUSE

I'm impressed! That actually look like three Elephants! 🐘

Poor elephant.. He's not doing it for the first time.. He's being taught.. But he's being taught in a horrible way.. They are being mean to the poor animal to draw a Picture:(

This elephant is not doing a self portrait. He was taught, probably by being beaten until he got it perfect. THey sell the paintings to tourists.

This is learned by LBF (learning by fear). Don't buy this crap! They are abusing the elephants! You can see for yourself in this web site! They holding the elefants ear. Also with the stick and with the needle that the handlers are holding in the other hand. You can read all about this at this web page. All proves at this site : www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/why-making-an-elephant-paint-is-cruel-not-cute/

That awkward moment when an elephant is a better painter than you.

this makes me question is there realy a difference between us and any other animal? Our evolution and progress seems to be the only thing in my opinion.

awesome I want one

It all goes to show the grand intellect of the elephant, comparable to us. It definitely helps to have a dextrous appendage, even if the trunk has no fingers, since if you have "hands" you can easily express yourself through painting and drawing, even in a basic fashion. I imagine if dolphins had arms, they'd be even better at painting.

Surprise and great

Elepant family

I really don't understand the dislikes ...

This is amazing!!! So adorable

really impressed and astonished.

it's amazing, how they could do that without prompts and without frequent rewards.

Sem palavras...magnifico...

Very well done, Srisayam!

They are sentient beings, it is horrible that they are submitted to so many acts of cruelty. Amazing! Blessed be their souls.

unglaublich! Und da behauptet Mensch immer noch das Tiere nur dumm und einfallslos sind!

All of a sudden a lot of elephants learned to draw in Thailand from one year to another? This is most likely a cruel way to control them with a device to guide their trunks to the painting boards. I also noticed like a metal like object in the tip of the trunk. Some people are SCUM...animals are not for us to do experiments on or to entertain us.
