allexx123 Says:
Jun 14, 2008 - They should let the Elephant dip the brush into the paint themselves and choose the color. Why do they not let that happen if this is the Elephants decission to paint in the first place I do not buy this.

Jun 15, 2008 - this is a tragedy if he/she was put through hours of training to paint that picture.

Jul 5, 2008 - Even if the elephant has been habituated by conditioning, the painting is still 100x better than any of the postmodern shit that passes for art today.

Jul 5, 2008 - That would be pretty cool if there were mini elephants. Like mini horses.
BowieZ Says:
Jul 5, 2008 - I'd rather a community survive on the money earnt by elephant paintings than by selling their ivory or killing them for food.
neroagent Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - I'd rather see more strippers on here than this non-human animal abuse for asinine entertainment!

bites66 Says:
Jul 15, 2008 - You guy's know that every video on youtube of an elephant painting is the same picture painted, right? Any ways this is cruel, but impressive, and they probably throw away the paintings and don't even try to sell them (BowieZ). The point is i agree with neroagent and with filipinofantasy.

SavetheAsianElephant Says:
Sep 1, 2008 - It is an elephant painting, but it is well guided by the mahout standing next to it. What you're seeing is an elephant being directed as to where to place the paint. Some paintings sell for as much as 250USD and sadly young elephants are forced to stay apart from their mothers and paint pictures constantly to keep up with the demand and make the owner more and more money. The training can be horrifically brutal. Please don't support elephant painting.

Gwenwhyfarr Says:
Sep 8, 2008 - if that is true you should give us some more info about it (sites,pics) so evidence can be given that this practice is wrong.
0004shark Says:
Oct 1, 2008 - yes, bites66 is right! they are all the same...

Nov 14, 2008 - I wondered about this myself, thanks for the info.
rahla53 Says:
Nov 16, 2008 - anything that is related to humans, concerning animals, is abuse, how do they train them only God knows. Obviously they know the dark paint comes first then the colors, it is not that they choose therefore, there must be something funny there. I am suspicious.
