Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 <SAVE THE CAPTIVE ELEPHANTS OF KERALA .BAN ALL ELEPHANT CARNIVALS. BAN IMPORT OF ELEPHANTS TO KERALA> A resolution was pased at the AFAC 2007 in Chennai on " Banning animals in entertainment " . Does anyone know if any progress from the AWBI has taken place in this regard. I feel as it may not be easy to get a universal ban on every animal in entertainment industry in India, therefore why not begin with the ELEPHANT ( as its a schedule one animal ) Azam Siddiqui On 2/4/07, AG BABU <agbabu wrote: > > This news item brings forth another specimen of S.P.C.A. in Kerala > that encourages and conducts animal races and carnivals.The Secretary > of Palakkad S.P.C.A. is the Secretary of the cattle race club there > who finds no qualm in conducting illegal cattle races. > > Here another gentleman from the Kollam S.P.C.A. is giving directions > to the elephant owners to limit the number of elephants to > participate in melas,carnivals and races to 50!!
