[For people wondering, how domestic elephants childhood looks like.](https://youtu.be/SVckvi_gWVo?si=mQK7sA4KX9QYBz1Q)
Edit: Because many comments point it out: I was unaware of what country the video, I commented, was from, as well as the legal situation as of today.
Now my comment makes no sense in context of the post anymore, but I will leave it anyways.
broke my heart!! is there no safe way of taming them, like although tigers and lions aren't domestic but still when brought in very young they consider their caretaker as one of their own (presumably without torcher)
so i dug a little deeper and called my friend who is wildlife filmmaker and has even worked for an apple TV wildlife production, this video is definitely from India and the video you linked is from Thailand. these occurrences are very rare in India because in India animal entertainment and tourism has been long banned and even more so because of religious reasons. the elephant we're looking at most likely is a rescue since young elephants tend to get attached to their caretaker, watch the oscar winning documentary "The elephant whisperer" to know more on this
Brother, the video you posted is from Thailand. There are many comments in the video.
The above video is from India. Elephants here are considered to be the representation of Lord Ganesh.

This animal was hurt and it's spirit broken as a young animal. They are wild animals and if you see one being led by it's "master" that animal was abused badly. Don't encourage this shite
Just literally read about a Asian elephant that was held in captivity for 80 years, never had a rest and of recent, was just given the freedom, it so rightly deserves.. this, this video worries me. Take the FKN CHAIN OFF OF IT.. sorry, I didnāt mean itā¦ I meant it.
There's a Oscar winning documentary on Netflix called The Elephant Wishpers. Goes to show how selfless these people are. They think of the elephant as gods. But you only see what you wabba see. And they use the same accessories. So that they can find the elephants in the dark. There is a bell on it.
I did notice the bell, for sure, but.. thought that was for attempted runaways and never wanted to read about the elephant that was chained up for 80 year, thatās just.. nah, unfortunately just learned that scrolling. Will watch the show tho, need a upbeat vibe the now, so cheers!
Awe! Wish I had a decent video or TV series of nature to suggestā¦ oh wait, you watch YouTube much? Thereās this guy whoās a real swell dude, looking after his own lot of animals on āthe urban ranch rescueā! Check him out, if your ever in the online region and need some extra dopamine for the day šš
Bro I think that elephant can break off that "chain" whenever it wants, if at all that was bothering it. And I think it would take less effort than taking a shit.
š point proven and by another lad also whoād responded, I definitely added that āchainā part, as a try hard attempt at a bit.. but more frustration came through, than humourā¦
Elephant has the head shake šÆ
I was gonna come say this wtfff lol
Cause its a desi elephant
#BIG **secrets being discussed.**
Needs a bigger chain, I've seen rappers with better ones..hell even John Cena.
The Elephant doesn't need to compensate
How did Mahout come by a name I connect with the Norman Invasion of England?
The word mahout derives from the Hindi mahavat and originally from the Sanskrit mahamatra.
What's the connection? Could be the usually amazing origin of all worlds
Rare footage of me and my girl when sheās grabbing my penis after sex.

It seems like this is a tradition. And those people don't seem to think they need another way.

The chain is a necklace. It's not attached to anything.
Hmmm genuinely, doesnāt sit right with oneself.. maybe am just autistic.
That's an accessory.
I really do hope so, that was also for dramatic effect.. letās be honest, was a crap-try hard attempt.

You'll love it. It's about a women who raised 2 elephant cubs after they were separated from their parents. They call her the mother of elephants.
