The poachers aren't the only enemy. Thousands of backwards people in India keep elephants in their back yards like junkyard dogs, living in squalor, chained to stumps for 20, 30, 50 years, cruelly trained with bull hooks and isolation decades, unable to move except when taken to city to beg or do tricks on the streets and give rides even when its breaking their backs and their spirits. They think they own them. Thousands more are chained and abused only to brought out to temple festivals. Dressed in heavy garb, ridden when legs are broken and hips have arthritis. Its inhumane and happening all over India especially in Kerala. They are abused and tortured every day with steel spikes digging into their legs.

It breaks my heart that these awesome and beautiful creatures have been treated so cruelly for so long. They don't need man to teach them cooperation; they already have this trait and have strong social skills. It's man who need to cooperate instead of destroying everything

That video should be taken down. Look at this hook they are hitting the elephants with as soon as they are not cooperating. I have been to Thailand to study elephants. All of them living in captivity should be freed. It's horrible. Inform yourself about it.

I wouldn't mind seeing experiments like these with elephant's of different evolutions to see how well they can communicate with other elephant races
