/an/, would this be animal abuse? https://www.youtube.com/wa

Depends mostly on how the elephant was trained, and how many times it's supposed to do this a day.
If this is some kind of zoo or amusement park, then he would most possibly have to do this all day, and not be allowed to stop until customers stop arriving.
So, probably.

Does he know what he's drawing? was he trained to do this or is it his own art? Fascinating

Okay, this is fucking nuts, I had no idea they were this intelligent. They must have vivid imaginations and very artistic souls. And it knows how to spell also?
They must be quite close or equal to adult human intelligence, no? Even most kids can't paint this well or maybe even most adults can't

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is just clever training.

from the comments:
>Suda has been put through the immense suffering of Phajaan as a baby elephant, and been made through fear to do this. Do you see her trunk quivering? That's damage to her central nervous system. Elephants are extremely intelligent, more intelligent than humans can comprehend. You can see her reasoning out where to put the paint, but she is made to do this, was trained through abuse and threat of the bullhook to do this. And when an elephant trained to paint doesn't do a good painting, or when they make a mistake or don't want to do it, they are abused painfully.

Who cares? They're putting a good show. Animal feelings don't matter.

The fucking retard trying to argue this person should have just ignored it, they made themselves look even worse

well, humans are animals as well, so that means that we should all gather and worship and sacrifice our bodies to plants, because they're the only living things with feelings that truly matter
