Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Please find some reactions/ views of the public worldwide with regards to seeking a total BAN on the'elephant polo' sport. It is good to see that although we are divided in our opinions with a majority voicing for a NO NO to 'epephant polo' in Jaipur, it is also a point to be noted that after Dr. John called out for UNITY, even those assisting the 'elephant polo' ( of course in the interest of the captive elephants ) have come forward with a much wider proposal: To support a total BAN. Atleast people are speaking out. Silence is often misunderstood. I also respect the views of Kim and Merrit ( although it came a little late ), and request them to highlight the trauma, terror and pain of captive elephants which they have to undergo throughout their life after their capture from the wild. These things have been documented on video, but they also need the blessings of 'Animal People' in a similar way as any other form of animal abuse gets space on the esteemed tabloid. I am sure there are much more people who instead of getting hooked on to the internet for animal absue news, do demend on 'Animal People' as it is quite popular worldwide, and because of its free circulation its an excellent tool to spread awareness. Please help us Kim & Merrit !! This is truly very good for all of us working for and with Indian animals, as we shall time and again have to carry out the mantra of 'NETWORKING' if at all we are to succeed in getting animal cruelty abolished from India. So I personally feel that having voiced our opinions we must not take anything personally against any individial or organisation since we are on the SAME PLATFORM, and getting the events such as 'elephant polo, elephant tug-of-war, elephant mock fights, elephant races, elephant dances and all other undignified sporting events involving animal abuse scratched of permanantly should be our prime objective. Let us all focus on it. The lawers, experts and public opinion is with us. What else are we waiting for ?? Regards, Azam Siddiqui --- We are not stopping anyone else trying to impose bans. Christine Townend, Help in Suffering --- Elephant polo, Elephant race, the tug-of-war between Elephants and so on …. Please ban all these unworthy events! Because of the training methods involved, they are a cruelty to the animals. And last but not least, these events are an outrage to the animal's dignity! Thank you.
