I'm sorry, you look like very nice people but this is horrible. In order for elephants to perform like this they have to have had their spirits broken through cruelty and torture of Phajaan. The older eles are then chained for long periods of time and you will notice swaying and bobbing of the heads due to boredom and literally going mad from being unable to move, walk, live like an elephant! Look up Phajaan or go to www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/breaking-the-spirit-of-elephants-for-use-in-the-tourism-industry/ Its so sad
