An elephant paints an elephant

[Lord Parkin]

Thanks for this. The elephant may not understand the significance of what it is drawing, but does it matter? It's cool anyway.

It shows a pretty good memory, at least. And pretty deliberate motor control

Would it be convincing if an elephant could learn to draw "elephants" more easily than (say) "dragons"?

Are you able to draw humans more easily than dragons?

 

[Yoda Power]

The proportions are all wrong, the legs look really weird and the ear is not right at all.

Yes because humans were so much better when they started to draw?

To this I can emphatically say: yes. Perhaps because I never draw dragons.

Yes because humans were so much better when they started to draw?

And yet humans did so of their own accord.

Though maybe it's because our dexterous extremities allowed us to effectively obtain and prepare the pigments necessary to paint, and elephants totally would if they could.

Or maybe not.

It's animal exploitation. Nothing more. It's designed to appeal to ignorant morons who have no real interest in the animals well being. You can tell who they are, they're the ones who think that that video is really cool!

This is obviously done with an intent of raising money. Now the real question is, how is this money spent?

Who cares as long as it's not hurt in any way? If you really care about animal rights go fight the meat industry, not some peaceful zoo keepers.

The end doesn't justify the means.

Obviously you don't care. And I doubt you have the knowledge or ability to be able understand the difference between caring for animals as they should be cared for, and just doing what ever you want just as long as the animals dont complain.

Like I said, ignorant people will think that's ok. Perhaps you should get an educated opinion before you post next time?

The elephants learns by rote and paint the same thing over and over.

What he said. My reaction is just basically :yawn:
