Elephant can now draw woke western people, who are very sensitive about everything except their dick.

I have lived in Thailand 17 years and am intimately involved with elephant 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 doing what they were trained to do under duress and the threat of pain for profit. They would prefer to live free live 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.

someone mentioned that the trainer was pinching the elephant's ear to guide it to draw. Seeing the video i believe the comment written in vietnamese/thai as there is option to translate it into chinese after the comment.

By placing a flower in the trunk of her excellently drawn elephant, Suda was clearly sending an important message - we wish for peace, so please stop shooting us for financial gain. This wonderful, highly intelligent lady Earthling is clearly on a mission to spread love and peace among ALL Earthling. I absolutely love her.

Try getting a house cat to paint anything like that. The elephant whether is trained or not or is aware or not, it's still amazing!

Nhéo tai Voi ác quá 😢

How is the elephant aware if what it is painting? They r taught to paint that. The painting could be anything. Also the elephant is tortured. Sure elephants r relatively smart but they are also easier to control and happen to have trunks that can hold a paintbrush.

Wish they showed the elephant from different angles to see if a trainer is standing by its side guiding its movements with the paintbrush.

Towards the end..I see the trainer outing his hand behind the elephants ear as if he guides his trunk movement

I'm not sure that humans could learn as well if you pull their ears. When elephants are going to rule the earth because human beings make a big mess and anything today?

すご～い　上手い　🙂

It's so fake 😒

so cute 🎉😊

I have always been moved by this.

Better than children's paints !!

Weird how the trainer is always putting his hand behind the elephants ear

абстрактное мышление и мозг больше чем у человека

most Nice and proudly

I love ng(National Geographic)don’t you

My country🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

I love the retro tech and KZbin

Stupid humans, always thinks that animals forced to do "lovely" "intelligent" stupid human things are "wonderful", mankind never learn, mankinds chronical evil.

All these videos should be taken down. This cannot be a genuine National Geographic film or report. It is clear the mahout guides the animal which had been trained to hold trunk rigid. It is not a sanctuary. It is a prison with no ethics.

How much does the elephant trainer control the movement of the elephant's painting, I noticed the trainer with his hand behind the elephant's ear, perhaps signaling, where the paint strokes should go.

These animals are as human as we are. It makes me sad that 10million people saw this and found this abuse enjoyable.

poor animals :(

this whole thing is very sad and upsetting :(

So sweet 👍🐘

🥰❤❤❤👍👍

Notice how he grabs the ear of the elephant and appears to squeeze it. It’s a warning to the elephant. While training in the morning and evening he’ll have something he pricks the elephants ear with that causes pain so that the elephant later in front of tourists paints as it’s been trained to do. Trained with pain

Picasso will be proud

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm just waiting to find out if this is a real video or if it's fake!

Cruelty Disguised.

pshhhhh... i could do that

Human beings are so stupid and naive. If you want us to believe these beautiful animals are not abused, tell the trainer to not walk in with a F'ING BULLHOOK.

PICASSO, AT HIS, FINEST..........

Joe Rogan recently talked about this. He was baffled too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqjTe3yuZZZ9f7s

Seeing this i couldnt believe it, how intelligent they are, then i looked in to it, they are abused to make them do this. Its very cruel. www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/why-making-an-elephant-paint-is-cruel-not-cute/

people actually use sharp pins to pierce the elephants ear so the elephant would paint

That elephant is talented. An elephant that can draw.
