The most I could find were photographs of Indian elephants being held by (what looked to me, anyway) like rather small chains. But yeah, I see a lot of references to the nice allegorical story without a real citation.
My prior is still on it being true to some degree, not because it sounds nice but because I know training animals often works approximately the same way.
