Popular Post KarenBravo Posted April 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm ashamed of fellow posters. The woman wrote what she saw and felt. You all jump on her like her opinion didn't count. But you expect your opinions to count. SHAME Oh please... She thought she saw and felt the "sadness" of the elephant, broke down in tears which ruined her holiday. Not only is she uninformed and has no concept of the reasons behind this problem, she also had no idea of the ramifications of her actions. Now the elephant has been removed, do you think it is better off? Her OP just begs to be torn apart for the uninformed, touchy-feely, faulty environmental guff that it contains. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the elephant isn't making money for the owner is it being feed enough or at all. I've been here long enough to know that most of the people that have these animals can't afford to feed them. She would of probably (the elephant too) been better off with taking a beach holiday in her own country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KarenBravo Posted April 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2015 Slightly off topic, but, I think this factoid does high-light a problem. The reason we call things that are useless, but expensive a white elephant is because in days gone by, if royalty wanted to get revenge on a certain person, they would give them a white elephant, which is regarded as holy. The recipient couldn't kill, or give away the elephant, or, put it to work and the cost of feeding it for the rest of it's life would most times, bankrupt it's owner. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 The solution is to eliminate the demand for pictures taken with animals or wild animals shows and the supply will disappear. But then what happens to the Elephant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I want to add that I don't agree with it and I don't have my picture taken with captive animals. But I don't impose my beliefs and morals on a culture that is different than mine. The solution is to eliminate the demand for pictures taken with animals or wild animals shows and the supply will disappear. "The solution is to eliminate the demand for pictures taken with animals or wild animals shows and the supply will disappear." - make it a crime, with the death penalty attached. That will end the "demand" - in the same way it has with drugs in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When thinking of the next iteration round, the Dino park will not get another baby elephant after the current grows up and does not look so cute anymore. I'm actually quite sure that even this Dumbo will be better of somewhere else, compared of being a display item for tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masuk Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I feel the same about Koala Bears in Australia ! When I saw one in Brisbane, I immediately wanted to have one shot & stuffed, so that I could take it home with me, to cry over ! Koala BEAR?? There's no such thing.

LivinginKata Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The koala is related to the kangaroo and the wombat. The koala is a marsupial mammal. The reason the koala is called a koala bear is because the koala looks like a teddy bear.

If you don't want to exploit animals don't eat meat,fish or wear cloths that are made from animals too. If you do, don't get on your high horse.

NamKangMan Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Oh my god, this really is tragic .... an elephant tied to a post !! What is "really tragic" is the cost of the tuk-tuk to go and see the elephant tied to a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
