Pink Elephants? Try animal abuse

[Husky15]

Technically, I don't think this is abuse. But I'm sure the elephant doesn't favor this...

Gah, what a pointless thing to do Paint is for paper, not elephants.

My argument against this is simple. Wouldn't the artistic statement have been served just as well by a fiberglass elephant instead of a live animal?

I know what it feels like to have most of the pores on my body (Arms, legs and face) clogged with camo paint. I can't see the elephant feeling much better.

Good grief, I just saw this on the CNN site - and my first reaction was WHY, WHY, WHY, do you need to paint an elephant.

Completely unnecessary and outrageous.

An elephant as art? AN ELEPHANT 'IS' ART - IN ITS NATURAL STATE - YOU IDIOT!!

Sorry for the rant, but these kind of things really get me going............in the wrong direction.
