I have lived in Thailand for 17 years and have been intimately involved with elephant rescue. EVERY elephant in Thailand, with very rare exceptions, that are 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. Many videos are being used to glorify elephant's painting 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. These performing elephants are not enjoying themselves but would love to be reunited with its mother, 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.

“To train the elephant to move the brush to create stroke patterns that we recognize as flowers, trees, or even an elephant, the mahouts use these painful prods to guide the elephant's movements. Further, if an elephant paints incorrectly, they are beaten, either with a bullhook or physically hit on their head or trunk.”
This elephant has been taught painting through years of abuse. This is not cute. They take the baby elephant, shove the paintbrush into their sensitive nose, strap them into a harness to logs and put needles in their ears to teach them what movement is correct. They break down their spirit take this down
This chick seems pretty cool. Im only here so i can find evidence whether i need to waste my evening raging about elephant abuse to myself and know i cant do anything about it instead of just not looking it up and sleeping in peace.
