    I'm sure you were being ironic in titling this photograph, "Elephant Freedom." Elephants are anything but free when they are forced to perform silly tricks for human amusement. In order to break elephants - who have never truly been domesticated - trainers beat and whip the elephants. Training methods in Thailand are particularly abusive.
