I saw that series of youtubes a couple days ago... just, "Wow".
I never want to hold another piece of ivory in my hands again.
Lots of people are calling them "faked" or "trained elephants" but how can you train a "dumb animal" to paint a variety of things? Wouldn't it just paint the same thing over and over? If I tried to teach my dog to paint he would just paint a milkbone, that would be the extent of his "talent".
I want to see it in real life which of course gets the "trained" camp all frothed up, "That's what they are trying to do, they want tourism!"
Well, it worked.
