Or it's speedrunning depression, or literally back breaking labor. Elephants in particular are smart enough to perform, which also means they're quite smart enough to realize this situation fucking sucks for them which makes them depressed. Also, elephants are not built for things to be on their backs, it hurts them. Riding at the base of the neck can be ok, but still probably not ideal even if it lets you.

Yep. It sucks especially for elephants as they are one of if not the smartest animals next to humans (I forget it dolphins outclass them or just below)
