“It’s not by choice — this is not a neat trick the elephant does just because it’s the result of a wild animal held in captivity and abused for human entertainment,” a user tweeted. “Circus elephants do it all the time,” a user commented. “No offense, but you can do just about anything when you’ve been trained at the end of a cattle prod,” another user wrote.
