Re: Elelphants Play Jingle bells
Whenever I see something like that clip I can't help but wonder if the animals feel as if they are being tortured, especially the "highly intelligent" ones such as elephants, just for the amusement of humans.
As the announcer said at the end, "playing musical instruments is not something elephants do in the wild".Al - M/56/5'9"

Re: Elelphants Play Jingle bells
It is pretty amazing, but you bring up a good point Labarum. I couldn't see animals thinking of it any other way then see it is a punishment or torture.Comment

Re: Elelphants Play Jingle bells
I don't know how we could know what was in the "minds" of intelegent mammals like elephants and dolphins. They might just as easly delight in games they had failed to dream up for themselves. Crafting bells is certainly beyond them, but they might enjoy such toys. What about a dog with a ball or a stick?Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
