Wow. Elephants performing degrading, unnatural tricks for clueless tourists. I am SO impressed-- NOT.I'd much rather see them behaving NATURALLY, not doing acts thought up by humans who only want to make money from them.And do visitors see their living conditions? Their chains, and crappy living quarters? This isn't much better than other kinds of work, trust me.Better to visit a real sanctuary where they are allowed to just be themselves, like the Elephant Nature Park.

yeah it may seem cruel to treat the elephants like this but this is a better livlihood for the people that work with the elephants.

The elephants perform out of fear. To "train" an elephant they are abused and starved until they comply with the trainers. They are hooked and stabbed with bullhooks. These are sad broken creatures that perform because if they dont they will be harshly beaten.

Been there recently! Oct 11, 2007. Please watch my amateur video of the same show. It's on my channel titled Maesa Elephant Show.

Holy shit, that elephant paints way better than I ever could, an excelent show. I would pay to see that. 5 stars.

I wonder how much they had to beat the elephants to train them to do that crap.

fascinante, estos animales son muy inteligentes y no olvidan ni el menor detalle, a veces se trnan muy peligrosos cuando se calientan, pero no dejan de ser muy simpáticos |
