  1. I'm absolutely against animals in circuses but he treats them so well, lets them live in a proper way and only takes them inside for the shows and that has my respect. You can see how much they love him and that they're healthy and happy and like family to him. Truly heartwarming. He is very protective and makes sure they have enough space everywhere they go.

    I bet when training they're like "Dunno why you want me to do this but I love you hooman so I'll play along".

  2. He actually treats them really well, plus the tricks he does are super awesome, he must of done gymnastics before he became an elephant trainer, he makes sure that (Idk if he said in the video or not) the gate to their enclosure is closed so they don’t escape (elephants are truly escape artists)

  3. Those are happy, healthy, and very loved elephants. I appreciate this young man being so vocal on his loving unique relationship with these magnificent creatures. And the love that the elephants have for him also is very apparent, they're all so comfortable and affectionate with him. Not to mention flappy ears! A flappy eared elephant is a happy elephant! Life is more beautiful with elephants and people like this young man.

  4. They are not born to do tricks. If he wans to make money which is still exploitation,, he can simply charge people for coming to see them at his facility, NOT AT A CIRCUS.
