THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING

Dear Kim and Merritt,

I am so grateful to you for knowing what it is like to see elephants

chained on cement developing arthritis and needing exercise more than

anything else. I love those elephants and I am happy to see them

stretch their limbs and muscles as they would be able to do in the

wild.

We are not stopping anyone else trying to impose bans. There are

15,000 captive elephants in India which can never return to the wild

so they must be provided with exercise and something to do.

It is good for John Wedderburn to talk about 'principles' but in my

heart I am more concerned about the beautiful creatures having the

space and time to stretch their legs and enjoy themselves together.

They kiss each other with their trunks. You can almost see them

laughing as they go at a slow lope together across the field.

Thanks again for understanding.

You can post this on AAPN if you wish. I don't know how to do it.

Much love Chris
