The Cellar - View Single Post - 1/21/2005: Elephant uses human-like toilet

I buy the elephant training bit- no problem.
My question: how do they flush the damn thing?
Or do they just clean it out. If they clean it out , wouldn't it be easier off the ground?
By the looks of the "plumbing" in the image, it doesn't look like it could handle a 200 lb jake.
If I were a mahout, I'd train my ele to run a backhoe & be done with it.
