This could be beneficial to elephants, too, by keeping them relevant in the culture and not just part of the good ol' days.

    If you really look at that poor elephant, you can see it needs more help than the kids.  The wounds and scars on its head from the ankus (a sharp pointed poker) attest that this elephant is abused.
