| Two main techniques have been used for
training elephants, which we may call respectively the tough and the gentle. The
former method simply consists of setting an elephant to work and beating him
until he does what is expected. Apart from any moral considerations this is a
stupid method of training, for it produces a resentful animal who at a later
stage may well turn man-killer. The gentle method requires more patience in the

years of loyal service. The first essential in elephant training is to assign to the animal a single mahout who will be entirely responsible for the job.

And Indians painted red henna on their bodies. Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. Dur 我来回答: 提交
