What about Ringling Bros???? Meera, I love this endearing capture! ..maybe it is for earning money from tourists...at least it's not earning money through abuse or neglect...Americans pay to watch the trainers in the circus whip them into submission...and people think that is ok??? Great capture of a beautiful ritual!!! Well thank you sparts, for disturbing this peaceful scene. What about Ringling Bros????

But bare in mind that there are grave concerns from many charities regarding just how these elephants are treated in this part of the world. In most cases they are there to provide nothing more than an income for the owners - merely a tool of the trade and are treated a such. A great many die every year through mistreatment. I expect this early morning bath was nothing more than another opportunity to earn tourist dollars and a lot les to do with love for the animal. Nicely captured shot.
