This was not an endorsement for elephant training. I think you missed the message completely. However I will leave your message up as a ‘fact check’ on elephant training tactics and as a rally call to anyone who wishes to join you on a crusade against elephant domestication.

You forgot to mention the use of painful beatings and the use of bullhooks onto the elephant which is the sole reason it can be trained to perform "unnatural acts" and having nothing to do with "intention." The elephant performs and does what it is told "out of fear". Gets the facts right and take the elephant example off of this page.
