you definitely would not want an elephant to have a dawsey when you were behind him.

When I was in Thailand on a familiarization trip, we went to one of the Elephant parks in Phuket. The only thing I did not like was the way the mahout(I think this is the term for the driver) hit the elephant with a stick that had a barb on it when the elephant did not obey his commands. Our elephant was older and maybe a little stubborn so it happened a few times and the mahout actually drew blood. The other elephants were fine. They had a bunch of baby elephants there and it was cute watching them do tricks and everything.

The park looked fine and the elephnats looked pretty healthy.
