This isn’t about politics.
I would certainly be up for giving that a go... But what to wear is the burning question... A bikini is right out to start with... So, would a one piece or a wetsuit do the job?

I’m not a swimmer, unfortunately.
OMG, YES! I actually played with baby elephants once. They are absolutely adorable! I did pet the mom elephant on her trunk and she seemed friendly enough lol.. They're actually pretty gentle and really smart.
Elephants are not the gentle, loving creatures they are shown to be on every animal documentary ever.
If you attempt this with wild elephants, you will die. Quickly and rather violently.
If you want to do this with trained elephants, you are a part of the problem. Do not support any industry where elephants are held in captivity. It is horrifically cruel to them.No, absolutely not. First, I wouldn't swim with a wild animal. But second, I don’t think anyone should swim with wild animals. They are extremely intelligent mammals, just like us, so are dolphins. Now I know that they were likely born in captivity and couldn't survive in the wild, but I honestly believe they should be sent to preserves, to live out their lives with some dignity. Not a lecture, just my own personal feelings.

No, I have zero intentions of going swimming with an animal that could crush with it's pinky toe. Riding an elephant is one thing, that seems fun. Getting in an element where it has an advantage absolutely not. It's still a wild animal. I'd watch from a distance aha.
That would be cool as hell. Cause elephants are cool as hell. They are probably the coolest animal on the planet.
I've patted elephants before, but that was a long time ago. I want to do it again. I want to look in their eyes and see who they are.
Probably yes. Would be a great experience.
You want it in travel, hobby and leisure or something else?I would! Just not in a bikini 😆 I could picture a million different wardrobe malfunctions happening with one wrong move and people cheering for reasons other than the elephant 😆🤦🏼♀️
Not as an act of tourism. And if I wasn't annoying them. Maybe a wildlife sanctuary where it was more play to encourage cooling a herd down. That would be fun.
Lol Jen. The photoshop blended into the elephant's trunk and made it look like she has a tail.
I would not swim with an elephant! They could smoosh me. And that's coming from someone who has swam with sharks.I've touched elephants, even fed them, they are very nice creatures. But I don't think I'd go swimming with one. Mostly because I'm scared, in some cases these animals get furious and with elephants it's not even easy to run.
Yes I'd love to :) I love elphants. I was in India and I got a ganesh statue as a gift because he's my favorite Hindu god and now I feel some kind of connection to elephants :) It would be a lot of fun I'm sure :)
I just read the update and went
😟
What do you mean you wouldn’t wear a bikini?Just watched a video of a pissed off elephant. We can train wild animals, but they are still wild. So no…. I think I’ll stick to swimming with animals of the human kind.
No. I don't care if they're known to be gentle animals that see us in the same way we see puppies. They are giants that can easily fuck us up by accident whether it's by accidentally stepping on us or accidentally drowning us.
I would, but not wearing a bikini! I'd be afraid of losing it!!
I'd much rather stay alive! Although maybe sitting on its trunk for a second would be cool
Depends…. If it were a baby elephant could be kind of cute and I won’t have to worry about being trampled.
Only if it wasn't black. I don't swim or associate with blacks
Well, Jennz, if that were you on the trunk of the elephant, most certainly !!! LOLOL
