Original Note:
The first clip in the video shows an African elephant. The painting elephant is Suda, an Asian elephant, in Thailand. A trainer pulls on their ear to ‘guide’ the brush which is painful and inhumane. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/elephant-painting/ https://www.britannica.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-asian-and-african-elephants The clip of bull elephants fighting is from China rather than Thailand. https://www.newsflare.com/video/642527/african-elephants-caught-in-fierce-brawl-at-shanghai-wildlife-park
