Shame on you for encouraging such things. What's next ? Bear baiting ? Cock fighting ?

I have not been to the Elephant Festival there, although I would really like too. I have been to Jaipur and spent a far amount of time around the elephants and seen how they are treated, I have also been to some of the places they are kept when not working during the day and night. Most of what I saw was very positive! New laws have been put into place to give the elephants breaks during midday, and limit how many trips they can make up to the Amber Fort each day.
My best guess would be that the elephants enjoy the festival; they are able to get out and see all of the other elephants and interesting things going on. Most smart animals really enjoy these types of things, just like people do!
I hope you have fun there and let us know how it was.
