Elephants have been known to see humans as we see dogs. Of course there are exceptions to this analogy.

@Wolf4077 actually elephants have been proven to see humans as pets, just as humans do to their animals. They have also been proven to see humans as toys too, but like delicate ones

Zed Kast both of those things are myths

Fun fact elephants think humans are cute

Though they have one of the highest level of intelligence they still have less intelligence then homo sapiens so I doubt that.

You know nothing about animals!

Gurjot you know nothing about animals, ur just tryin to justify something that doesn’t need to be without proof.

Gurjot ok Karen

@gingersleep Wow, I have no jokes or witty barb's, this is just the most authentically bitter comment I've ever seen. I'm shocked really

A possible problem here is that elephants are happiest as part of a group, especially considering this elephant is female. What we really have to consider is that would this animal be happier in the wild with a herd or in captivity with or without other elephants. In my estimation, the least amount of suffering and the most amount of happiness can be achieved with a herd in good captive conditions. As for the other options, its up for debate. I can only say that some folks don’t consider the amount of suffering experienced by animals in the wild and make appeals to nature that are at the very least questionable

If I have decades with a smart elephant, I would try and teach it tic-tac-toe.

Ur channel only has one sub 😂😂😂😂

More like nose lol

There is probably a really high fence somewhere but other then that this elephant does what it wants

Yep agreed. The elephant looks very happy, unlike seaworld where the animals look desperately bored & frustrated.

He has better life than mine soo 😂😂

They grew up together. I'm sure the elephant feels them more a family than she would feel with any other elephants. Yet I think the starting point of the relationship was... bad. Elephants shouldn't be circus animals to start with. Nor zoo animals.

An elephant that has a owner wave a bull hook around probably not living that hood of a life.

And they don't even eat meat.

Tangible Mammal that should tell y’all something

Curious how they were able to figure that out. Just think of the area and think if you figure out 1000 let alone 40,000.

Doug Whi they’re also highly intelligent, one thing we have in common with them is we both mourn for our dead

Did you know: there is 1.2 million muscles in the human eye?

They mourn their dear ones too.and just like human beings,the babies are brought up by their maternal grandma and a group of loving aunts.

Mallory okay

3:50 Bullhook, a sharp tool used to punish and control elephants.

@Mallory Its called an ankus. Its a USDA approved tool and they HAVE to use it because of federal law, or else they will get fined. Its the same as using a leash om a dog or reins on a horse. It's to control the animal, its an extension of the hand. It's not used for abuse.

Stick or no stick, elephants are not meant to live with human families, they're meant to live with other elephants on a LOT of land. Even if they're orphans, they should be put into wild life nursery refugees for baby elephants. I can't believe this woman is fighting for families to be able to own elephants. She may be very kind to her elephant, but many others won't be. Not to mention, how many would buy a baby elephant, then get rid of it later because they're a lot of work, this is something you can't do. You need to be there 24/7 when you have an elephant. The babies can die of heartbreak if you leave them for just a couple days, even if there are other people there caring for them when you're gone. Fighting for humans to own elephants like dogs... what a ridiculous thing to fight for.

Just for the cameras

Not everyone who acts like one is one

I agree James West. People always are more fascinated with the predator animals like lions and tigers and wolves but I think the elephant is an extremely noble animal

Even for me elephants are my favorite

Did you really cry for an elephant youtube video?

PETA thinks that the elephant might’ve been unhappy in the circus environment... like isn’t it suspicious how did it learn all those tricks...?🤨 hopefully though I hope they never harmed her in any way... this was a cute video and I’m happy that the elephant looks like it being loved and taken care of in what looks like a vast woodland area

Imagine if fire rescuers acted like PETA. First they pull you out of a burning building, then execute you within 48 hours.

p 3vedi why is it suspicious? How how do you train a dog or a cat?? Same way as you would with an elephant. Elephants are smarter then dogs and cats...

AJ Mesama AJ clearly you’ve never worked with a circus...

When I realized she was a circus elephant I was like “oh” but clearly they don’t abuse her like most circus’ do to their animals which makes me happy because shes a circus elephant but she’s getting good treatment and she has an amazing life

any provisions made for her future.. elephants can live to be 70 years old

Mark Lanton you better be

@Mark Lanton it is, it's delicious.

Jaeger & mark salad with ranch dressing. J&M crunch them up like bacon bits. Just joking I don't like meat. I was wondering tho think there could be a baby elephant if you have room and money. Sure she's happy but?

@Mark Lanton I've heard human flesh is alittle bit like pork.

Armchair Activists, man. Such Big brained individuals, am I right?

gingersleep I don’t have an opinion on this one, necessarily. I’m saying that it’s funny how, on any given video about and animal in captivity, there’s practically a war zone in the comment section with people on both sides making claims about the animal’s wellbeing with no acknowledgement of the fact that they could be wrong. Some animals are better off in captivity. But many more are better off in their natural environments. It goes both ways. But honestly, I was just a joke. Not really meant to be taken seriously.

@Reid Holdman - the truth is that no one really knows if this particular elephant is actually loving or at least liking being where she’s at, part of a circus and receiving commands she has to perform to entertain a bunch of over simplistic humans, instead of being back where she was born enjoying freedom and other elephants and animals’ company for that matter...

therofthew tbf I doubt the elephant sees it that way, she’s getting exercise and play time out of it, and is also rewarded for her actions through love and treats. I highly doubt the elephant cares about the rest.

@Antonio Rodriguez - well just ask this question to yourself, would you like to be or would you enjoy being in a similar situation as this elephant?!?!...you know away from your homeland and your family, but exercising and receiving treats as compensation...

And saying the vast majority of circuses take great care of their animals...

@@interstategar Oh for sure. I'm not saying it has a horrible life. I'm just saying, at it's core, I believe elephants shouldn't be kept as "pets".

Then many animals can go extinct forever. Without Russian breeding programs, the Siberian Tigers would be extinct forever.

Humans are a part of nature. How do you think we were created.

If they can take care of them then I don't see the problem especially since there ate animals who like humans more.

If she was raised with humans, she probably thinks she's a human too, she sees her friend as an equal. Happens with other animals too, it's called imprinting. She's not sad, believe me.

It's habbit of elephant

The stick with the small rounded hook at the end is a tool every Mahut uses. Its purpose is to grab the elephant by the ear if the Mahut feels he/she is getting stressed or scared (for some reason it appeases the elephant). Some assholes use it to beat the elephant but that's not for what it was made for. Kind of like a prong collar for dog, it looks bad but it's not a torture instrument if properly used ;)

isaline biloe bullhook... but ya. Lol

The lady uses a power house and the elephant is unfazed, I doubt a little stick could do anything. Edit: I also found that good trainers tap behind the ear with the bull hook and elephant skin is around 1 inch thick.

You say that as if she was hitting her with it... she wasn’t.

Calm down. She doesnt abuse her with it. And u cry about a hook when I know u eat meat. Those animals suffered so much before being slaughtered for your tastebuds

@@katelinishere1484 Who eats elephant meat, crazy for me.

@@melanijaalijevic490 u missed my point

Bullhooks are actually called "the Ankus", "Takaw", "Guide" or "Elephant Guide" and it's a husbandry tool used with elephants for thousands of years - It's used to guide the elephant. All animals that are with people have to have some sort of husbandry tools - Dogs have leashes, Horses have reins, etc. Elephants are very large and smart. The guide is merely an extension of the handler's arm and uses touch or direction cues to guide the elephant. Sadly yes, in the hands of unprofessional people, it can be misused - but so can other animal husbandry tools. Don't judge. She obviously doesn't mistreat this elephant.

Calm down skippy. Does that animal look abused?

Lol

Well, it might be an amazing animal, but an animal nonetheless. Absolute trust like: "I can put my head under his/hers foot and know nothing bad will happen or playful playing etc", are stuff for the movies or news horror stories. You treat these majestic beasts with the caution, love and respect they deserved if owned. It doesn't mean in the slightest that said person loves or cares for the animals any less if is "enforcing" rules/boundaries, possible scolding, being strict, be in control etc, because we all can guess what can happen in merely a split sec. (we have read about domesticate house dogs with no biting tendencies, biting/damage faces of young kings) etc. Some case were with provocation, were others more in line with unintentional/accident most likely 'cause adult supervision lacking. And mostly those were dogs on leashes too. Another example: Let' take for example an even temperament, no non- violent dog(Hint: GR or LR). Even those some-active large, friendly, non aggressive type of dogs, can always by accident an accident, be it by playing with kids and 'cause of the power and large size, situations like that occur often.. So, the woman in the video she might even love or care even more than most because she actually see those animals as to how they really are and not what we wanted them to be/mean for us. Even in dwindling numbers, some mothers even to this day provide some form of "physical" disciplines in similar means like the woman in the video but more inline with current human societies standards lets say. E,g the iconic shoes throw or chase with it and wooden soup spoons. Kinda funny unless you are on the receiving side. So? Are those two mothers trying to discipline their kids(in no violent way mostly and for a good cause at least to them) and for sure without any malice, do those actions imply they love or care for their kids any less? Even with the the few exceptions here and there which aren't even worth even mentioning, the answer is No. Back on topic about the Bullhook which is already banned in several US sates, while been considered quite inhumane by mostly activist ppl. I admit I didn't notice it at first. Only here in the comments. I have no prior knowledge of the Lauryn Murray/Lady Essex the Elephant arrangment but if the bullhook isn't used or even abusively at at, which seems th case to me, well, considering Lady Essex's Circus training/upbringing, that bullhook might be there, just because Lady Essex learned/knows to behave with that in sight/around.?
