    That poor angel. Here is how they train these incredibly powerful animals to bend to the will of tiny humans:

    Um, if you check this specific elephant, he was not only NOT trained that way but rescued from an abusive place to begin with.

    From ExoticWorldGifts, the place that sells these paintings:

    Quote Originally Posted by Exotic
    Boombim, a highly confident 8 year old female elephant, painted her beautiful floral art in Chiang Mai, Thailand. According to her trainer, Ngiam, this confidence turns to stubbornness at times. However, she is also very expressive in her happiness and makes loud noises to show her enjoyment. Being such an expressive elephant, she was meant to be artist and after 2 years she is painting beautiful, realistic pictures. Painting is very relaxing for Boombim. She gets a bath before practicing, then indulges in bananas and sugarcane after.

    When Thailand cut back on logging, at least 3,000 domesticated elephants were no longer needed for hauling. These wonderful creatures are facing unprecedented survival challenges. Boombin's amazing art is being sold to help save the demising number of Asian elephants and protect them from people using them for illegal logging or begging for handouts on city streets. Proceeds are used to keep their native habitats as well as for caretaker education, veterinarian care, and food for domesticated elephants.

    Positive behavioral training techniques and non-toxic paints are used. Your painting has an official stamp and comes with Boombin's picture and bio. Thank you for helping and saving these amazing creatures.

    Asian, I'm guessing, since she is one.

    If that's true it's totally awesome, definitely! I just know that the elephants I saw doing tricks in Asia were not having fun. Abuse of wildlife--especially primates and elephants--is rampant in Thailand

    And what's with the "ums"? I keep seeing this and it comes off as so snarky.

    It's quite amazing, yes, but even if trained in the most humane manner....I'm not a fan. It stinks of dancing bears and anthropomorphism.

    Elephants are so cool, just, anyways. They don't need to do a paint-by-numbers to be amazing creatures.

    It doesn't seem bad to me. In this case I'm just amazed to see a more throrough glimpse of what elephants are capable of. They're so deeply, profoundly awesome.

    That was freakin' AWESOME!! That elephant paints WAY better then I ever could! And I would totally buy that...how freakin' cool to have a painting done by an elephant!!

    Last time I was in Key West I met this guy from Ireland(desavirsire..this was the guy whos shirt I wore that night on the bet!) who races sailboats. When he isnt racing...he goes to India with a group to work with the elephants on some wildlife preserve they have out there. He said it was the most amazing thing he's ever done. The intelligence and emotion they showed(and they were wild...it was NOT a zoo..they had been rescued from people who apparently march them up and down the streets in India and abuse them to amuse people....grrrrr). He said he would be going as long as he could because every trip just filled him with such a respect and admiration for these creatures!!

    I LOVE elephants. The SMARTEST land animal. Smarter than chimps.

    They had something about artistic elephants on "60 Minutes" a few years ago. Their paintings are sold and support their care and feeding and help their wild brothers and sisters. Both African and Asian populations are in decline. Sniff.

    ^^^Does anybody know where you can buy elephant paintings? On the internet maybe? I would love to have one and I would love to support their cause.
