Baby Elephant Smuggling

Baby Elephant Smuggling

Baby Elephant Smuggling – It is NOT cool to engage in elephant tourism – full stop! Big Shame Burma And Thailand and Big Shame on tourism and travel companies who promote elephant vacations and elephant trekking camps. And Big Shame on tourists – who by now – should know better then to participate in any venue where elephants are ridden – involved in festivals – street begging – painting pictures – playing any sort of sport for entertainment – or splashing in the surf.

Rescued Elephants – Sunder And Raju

Sunder and Raju – Rescued Asian Elephants

Sunder and Raju – Rescued Asian Elephants – Sunder a 15 year old elephant and Raju a 50 year old elephant have been rescued in India. Both were captured as calves – torn away from their herds and enslaved. Mere money making commodities – in the temple and elephant begging industries. Sunder’s freedom finally came in June 2014 after a contentious court battle spearheaded by PETA and championed by thousands of people around the world. Raju – kept illegally with no paperwork – was freed on July 4, 2014 by London based Wildlife S.O.S. – it is believed that he may have had more than 20 owners during his tortured life.

South African Media Gets A Failing Grade On Wildlife Issues

South African Media Gets A Failing Grade On Wildlife Issues – The “Media” is a controversial issue regardless of one’s country of origin. The media and the public – it is a convoluted relationship with no easy fix. The media drools over celebrities and nonsensical trivia and neglects to cover important issues. The media is fixated on one story of murder and mayhem to the exclusion of coverage of a racially charged incident. And the list goes on – why is this?
