I think it's an awesome picture. We're helping an elephant live a normal life!

I'm sad because it may have been due to abuse. :/

I saw a documentary once about elephants being abused constantly to be made circus shows.

Most likely stepped on a mine. This is pretty common in the animal kingdom.

Yep, it was a land mine

Thanks for the link --- I was very curious what the backstory was to this picture.

Nope, it was the diabetes. He fuckn loves chocolate.

An elephant in captivity is being abused just by being in captivity. Don't get me wrong I am not an animal rights activist by far but elephants borderline intelligence and social structure set them apart.

[–]doktor_wankenstein 0 points1 point ago

Perhaps.

But since (I think) this particular elephant was injured in the wild, it would've certainly died, probably in terrible pain, had it not been brought in and treated.

I actually had to recently explain to my aunt why I wouldn't go to the circus with her when she invited the family. She said, "Your loss!" and went anyway, by herself, because the rest of the family had moral issues with it.

I know it's her choice, and I won't say anything else about it to her, but it bothers me because she claims to be an animal lover. Do people think we're just making it up when we explain that the animals are being abused? Or do they truly just not care?

Is the guy training the elephant to fly like Dumbo by pulling on its ears like that?

Ok, why are prosthetics almost always a slim pole? Couldn't you use lighter materials if you used a hollow tube with a larger diameter? I realize it probably is hollow already, but the physics of bones mandates that most of their structural strength is located at the periphery. There's just not much stress in the middle.

Does it make it easier to mount it to a ball or screw joint with more degrees of motion.

[–]i-hate-digg 4 points5 points ago

They're our way of saying 'fuck you' to nature.

Hey nature, bones are great and all and imma let you finish but modern materials science has the strongest materials of all time.

[–]menforihelvete 2 points3 points ago

I can imagine that the prosthetic leg needs to have it's point of impact right in line with the actual bone, to make a "continuous" structure.

[–]lowrads 0 points1 point ago

Logical. I'm guessing the make some kind of clip on shells if you want your socks to fit right.

I got my foot stuck in my bike chain when I was about 7, and it tore a huge gash in the top part of my foot. My dad didn't want to take me to the doctor, and instead just duct taped the shit out of it. I wish I still had the pictures.

What a horrible picture to post, then to make fun of the poor animal who is obviously being treated cruelly. You should be ashamed!
