Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1065565 & CatID=19 Animal behaviour Apropos `A sporting encounter', (DNA.Sunday, November 19) — the organisers' support of an elephant polo game is both disingenuous and self-serving. Hurting elephants in an event to raise money to `help' other elephants is contradictory. PETA investigators found elephants used in this very same game living in abysmal conditions. Some had open wounds, presumably caused by being prodded with an ankush. Elephants were seen being beaten violently with sticks, while others were kept outside in the sun with little shelter or water. To support this event under the guise of helping animals is shameful, and corporates should realise the harm they are doing to the animals by funding such sports. Anuradha Sawhney, PETA, Mumbai.
