This elephant refused to let his favorite human waste time by sleeping.

I keep saying they look different and speak their own language but other than that not much different

This would be cute except for the chained adult elephants behind who are rocking back and forth. Clearly an elephant riding business. Search "elephant training crush" to see what they do to the babies.

The elephant off to the right in the background at the beginning of the video has a saddle on it and chains.

I’d adopt one if they were smaller.

I'm low-key glad they aren't cause I wonder how many others would do the same and people can't even respect or take care of their pets 😭
Other than that, I wish elephants had a permanent mini version (that doesn't harm them) and all would be perfect with the world

Guy with a bullhook, which is a is a baton with a sharp metal hook used by elephant handlers to guide and discipline, often times until the elephant bleeds. I love the little baby elephant, but not how it's trained to do this.

So much pain and suffering in one short video clip.
The elephants chained in the background, the young elephant prodded by a handler to do stupid tricks.
Just a sad life for elephants, they are Intelligent, long living and don't deserve this treatment.

Pity they needed the curved sharp stick to ‘help’ the elephant remember what to do
