Interesting. Since this is from BBC Earth I guess it's legit, but from my earlier understanding, painter elephants typically go through long processes of torture to "learn" how to paint things for tourists. I will skip linking to any references since we are on the topic of a mass elephant death, but you can easily find them on the Web.
Or perhaps my understanding was incorrect all along?
- ars 6y agoI don't have specific information but elephants are very very very smart. And most smart animals very much enjoy being trained, they seem to enjoy the interaction and the challenge. For example wild dolphins will sometimes come to humans just in order to play with them or to interact.
- ornornor 6y agoI don’t know... if you haven’t already, look up how are elephants “trained” so that they can carry tourists on their backs... or beg in the streets... it’s not pretty and it is torture.
