Help innocent elephants of India from being the showpieces for people and from being painted !!!

I need your help on this....as they are also living beings like us and they must have the rights to live their lives as they wish to. Their ears are pierced not only once but many a times for no reason but only to seek attention of the tourists. They are also being painted for weddings etc...How will we feel when someone paints our faces with those chemicals!!!!!
Need Your Support To stop this custom of painting them and piercing their ears!!
