Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Virginia McKenna, OBE, Chair of Trustees, The Born free Foundation, UK, is the 149th person to sign the online petition. She has appealed for a second time to 'Cartier Inc' against elephant use in the Jaipur 'elephant polo' and the withdrawl of the sponsor. Her message reads, " We are now asked by Cartier to believe that the elephants are not actually going to play polo but `ramble about the field' in this `Alternative Elephant Polo event'. Whatever the choice of words the principle is wrong. Whether elephants `ramble', play polo, whether or not the ankush is used, this issue has become a catalyst for the way we treat these sensitive, intelligent creatures. For their sake we must not fail them. " To reach the weblink and join her in voicing concern for the poor helpless jumbos of Jaipur, please visit: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/857409235 Regards, Azam Siddiqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
