[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1321598, member: 10619"] I understand that the trainers aren't breaking the skin of the animals, but cracking them in the head a few times for what appears to be no reason at all is wrong. I'm also not sure what benefit is to be had by tying a baby elephant to the ground by all 4 legs. I try to take everything with a grain of salt, but the videos and pictures speak for themselves. I haven't either for the same reason. I remember a few years ago at the state fair they had a tiger show going on for the crowd. We were walking by, saw it, and decided to stop and watch for a few minutes. The trainer was getting all 3 tigers to roll over at the same time while the crowd just "awwwww"'d. I guess I was the only one who was thinking "well of course they're going to roll over when you're beating the piss out of them with your whip!", which he was and I didn't see anything cute or aww-worthy about it.
