Do you know who gives the fitness certificates to all these blind and sick elephants during the festival seasons annually and reap hundreds of thousands of rupees illegally on the one hand and and don the anxious and sympathetic mask of an animal lover? Do you know who clamour for the import of more capture guns so that they could accompany the elephants at the behest of the owners and mercilessly shoots the elephant with the darts at the slightest provocation? Do you know who help all the elephant owners by giving them clean post-mortem reports of the elephants which were tortured or starved to death? Do you know why not even a single owner was not punished on this count? Legally you cannot even move an elephant if the fitness certificate is not issued by a Vet under the State Animal Husbandry Directorate. Let us be honest.For a handful of these two legged mercenaries this " elephant field " is a private goldmine forbidden; for others.As Kerala has the largest reservoir and gene pool of captive elephants in the world. They could conduct as many field surveys ,primary drug tests,illegal experimentations,lab tests and " discoveries " definitely are coming out in the form of new research papers for the price of a foreign jaunt or a doctorate. I fully agree with the stale data and sentiments expressed in your forwarded letter:but I abhor those filthy hypocrites who hunt with the dogs and run with the hare and shed copious volumes of crocodile tears.
