This video makes me sad. These elephants are not having fun. The training it takes to teach an elephant to paint is more brutal than just about any other tricks they're taught. They all just seemed so lifeless in the water. I spent a month at a Karen village where elephants were allowed to forage in their natural habitats without putting on performances. They were happy.
fyi elephants don't paint this way of their own volition, they have been trained to duplicate images for sale to tourists. inquiring minds can find TRUE creations from elephant artists. see elephant art gallery spotting a fake
