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.

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.

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.

Tbh, they don't look in a bad shape to me. You know, every year, tons of children are abused by their parents, that doesn't mean all parents abuse their children. 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]

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.

Do you understand that EVERY working elephant is TORTURED and forced through violence to slave for man, chained when they aren't working and threatened with violence DAILY, not allowed to live their natural lives? Heinous crimes are committed to force elephants to do these things. You should be amazed at the wisdom of Creator that designed the elephants so perfectly and beautifully for their Keystone work in Nature. Do you understand that elephants are nearing EXTINCTION? Do you know Why? Because foolish man in his pride, that has no understanding of Creation or its purposes, has killed by violence and captured so many elephants from the Wild that there are almost none left! Do you understand that for every calf that they capture from the Wild, that the entire elephant family-herd is KILLED? That is how they are able to capture the calf, to train it to make you amazed at these violence-trained rote-movements that you see in this video! LEARN. Use your love to learn wisdom and to practice wisdom, rather than to be impressed at the fruit of violence and cruelty. Please watch either the movie or at least the trailer of the movie, 'Love & Bananas, An Elephant Story' as found in my Asian elephant playlist or my movie playlist. Until people start rejecting and shunning the Violence of the Bullhook and the Crush Box, the torture will continue, and elephants will become extinct. Choose Wisdom with that Love!

I saw an elephant paint in Thailand. The trainer guided him the whole time, literally steerimg the head while the elephant kept his trunk stiff. On this video, you don't quite see what the care taker is doing, but he seems to be always standing right next to the elephant when she paints something. My guess some kind of steering is going on there as well. Maybe the elephants are okay with it, but it's certainly a tourist show and I would only buy / support such a picture if I knew for sure that it was drawn without human "blueprint" and that the paint (and whatever training took place) wasn't harmful.

[@olivius8891]

I think each elephant is trained in a specific pattern so when they paint they only make that pattern for a reward. When untrained elephants are left to paint by themselves, they tend to make abstract little flecks, splotches, and lines instead of trees and such.

[@fighterck6241]

Regardless of training or how intelligent elephants are, there's little evidence that they have any innate cognition for abstract images and relationships. In other words I doubt the elephant would even regard any relationship between it's own kind and the two dimensional image it drew on paper. But I'd be interested in reading studies on the subject.

[@stoptheabuse-dy8wl]

They aren't painting, in fact, they have many sensitive nerves at the tip of their trunks. They would never even pick up a brush and secure it this tight. The man hiding beside her front feet is maneuvering her trunk around the paper.

I love elephants. Just imagine an animal, smart, strong and gentle… that’s the elephant. The elephant combines all positive qualities, all positive characteristics an animal can have! Huge respect to our big friends, I don’t know why people in India, Thailand, South Africa, Bangladesh or Indonesia treat them so badly. Just from their size I would feel quite intimidated so I would never dare to behave disrespectful to an elephant let alone mess with an elephant

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

This is just like the treatment of Ringling Brothers elephants... behind the scenes of all this talent is torture. Elephants forced to perform or draw for human entertainment is cruel. They are Earth's gentle giants, and it's a shame how we treat them

@@Turican76 We r humans for God sake! This system was created by humans & not animals. So u can't blame that on animals. Just because we r going through it, doesn't mean animals have to go through the same thing. You think that animals should pay taxes & go to a jungle school & write exams? Like how we went? They get loads of torture just to entertain us. Imagine we getting tortured to entertain animals. We feel like as if we want freedom. The same way even animals feel. We have to try to understand them. Sooner or later they will understand us too & we can live together & can make Earth a better place to live.

It's amazing what you can make an animal or a little child to do. Isn't it fun to watch bears running around in the circus like their clowns. They really look like they're having fun & plus we get to enjoy watching them. Animals & children are here to please us & they really do.

These elephants are tortured slaves of humans www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/why-making-an-elephant-paint-is-cruel-not-cute/ Like elephants used in the elephant trekking industry, young elephants used for painting must be broken and experience the pain of the phajaan process. Over this time baby elephants are starved, shackled, and beaten, until their spirit is completely broken and will submit to the will of their captors.

[@stoptheabuse-dy8wl]

She's not painting. The mahout who doesn't reveal himself is moving her trunk around the canvas. These young elephants would be playing with each other which would be natural. The reason they don't stray away is because they have nails between their fingers pressing them into the sensitive part of their ears to remind them of the painful training process.
