I guess you aren't aware than animal rights groups paid $25.0m to settle lawsuits arising from RB's libel suits over the false claims of animal abuse.
You and I don't know a thing about elephants, so we'll start at that.
I also will say that there is a big difference between what the law allows you to do treating an animal and what we probably should be doing.
So the question is, while the law allows you to transport elephants by train, do tricks etc, is the elephant truly not distressed by that?
Then you get to how it was trained in the first place, in which case you hope it wasn't through the phajaan or similar practices.
I think it should be looked at a lot more academically than most discussions are carried out.
