    Elephants are intelligent, cogent, & compassionate; what kind of hell they had to be going through, to do civilization’s dirty work.

  6. @TheSnellast on September 9, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    “It was used all around the world” yes, I’m sure it was very popular in Scandinavia 🤦‍♂️



  7. @OnePlusOneEqualsOnePlusOne on September 9, 2024 at 6:24 pm

    Do not forget the positions of judge and jury in India consists of elephants.



  8. @3fast5you on September 9, 2024 at 6:24 pm

    It’s so crazy to me that humans are capable of casually enjoying seeing someone get tortured to death. We truly are apes.



  9. @MazAzif on September 9, 2024 at 6:24 pm

    INCREDIBLE India 🇮🇳 ❤



  10. @archmagosdominusbelisarius8836 on September 9, 2024 at 6:25 pm

    Humans were always barbaric and savage and full of bad intentions. Sadistic monsters.



  11. @zosazsatara5889 on September 9, 2024 at 6:28 pm

    In those days you had to be SO extra careful to not commit even the most smallest offense, otherwise you will be executed early.



  12. @elsvaughn7959 on September 9, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    I bet that left irreparable emotional scars on the elephants 😢



  13. @kylebman321 on September 9, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    I don’t know what’s more fucked. The fact that stuff like this happened, or that people sought entertaining by watching it. 💀



  14. @ticket2space on September 9, 2024 at 6:30 pm

    Man you know how smart elephants are? I wonder if it caused them any mental distress



  15. @bhaskarteja3337 on September 9, 2024 at 6:32 pm

  16. @jonnun7713 on September 9, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    this is so fucking crazy cool! who are you man?!



  17. @NeverTHOUGHTofIT on September 9, 2024 at 6:33 pm

    There is folklore in my place, that a greedy man invited a brahmin to his house to eat food (a practise in old times to get good grace of God) because in Ancient times you can’t say no to brahmin if he demands extra food and they too ate a lot, so when the brahmin asked for extra, that man being greedy gave him some mixed thing in food which filled the brahmins stomach but also set him in full loose motion, thing got so worse that brahmin died and in next life (as We believe in resurrection) became elephant and when he saw that man, he flung him so high that when he landed it created a crator where there is now a pond. 😅😅😅😅

  35. @lastchips7638 on September 9, 2024 at 6:55 pm

    "Although it was used all around the world"
    Most of the world not having elephants would probably disagree with that
