I couldn't believe they were being harassed either...it seems some of the harassment is coming from other people trying to take the elephants away. I wish they would get a charity account up somewhere That I could get a donate button for to make it easier for them to get donations. I could put one up on my own but I wouldn't want people to think I might be doing something fishy with the money. Martyn,

I checked out part of the bottom link video and the lady is doing some excellent work and I was surprised to see that 'anti's' tried to burn down her wonderful medical centre. I also visited the blog and read about Motala and young Namfon, a close relationship is developing there, that's good to see. I have been guilty in the past of feeding the wandering elephants and effectively encouraging their mahouts to continue their way into other cities and towns but I just find the elephants so adorable. I must try and stop that. Looking back over my comment...'I checked out part of the bottom link video'...I best explain that part bit by saying that I rarely click on the visible video links such as YouTube because as much as I'd like to they well eat into my monthly internet fixed usage. Excellent post and a very worthy one. .-= Martyn´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thaisabai.org/2009/09/the-thai-two-finger-salute/" rel="nofollow">The Thai Two Finger Salute</a> =-.
