cow poo and elephant poo make the nicest houses ever. I travelled through all these villages through S.E asia and they used dung to build houses. they felt like they were air-conditioned in the 40degree heat.!

she will probably have a life of controlled captivity

well that sounds like fun.... Not.

i understand wanting to free an animal from the circus

but these sorts of animals can't be returned to the wild

and after 38yrs of being around humans they still need the routine that they are used to

she needs a long weaning period from one human companion to another

and it needs to be a constant companion who will interact with her

probably not an option to get another elephant companion for her

if she is to be sent overseas she will need her companion to go with her

How would one apply to be an elephants companion?

I can imagine the havoc me and Jumbo would wreak on suburbia.

the elephant conducts the interview

*imagines cross legged elephant wearing glasses and holding a checklist*

:lol:

:lol:

I imagine far worse

breaking news just need to have it confirmed

think a legal battle has gone on over the elephants ownership

they said on the new that it costs $200 a day to freed it

no between 20 to 50 a day

the spin doctors are at play

what does it eat each day?

depending on size about 4 bales of hay a day, 20 cabbages, 10 to 20 loaves of bread

we did deals with farmers and food store chains

bananas!

and lots of handouts from the people visiting them~!

5 dollars a bucket

and ten dollars for the photo

man can they pack it away, hence the cost.

part of the cost maybe for waste management

part of the cost maybe for waste management

what goes in must come out, i would find a way of making $ from that ...... compost companies or something.

pachyderns doos $5.00 a bag

do not apply directly to roses

could have road apple tossing might be more pc than dwarf tossing

i used to be accurate with a 3 pronged hay pitchfork up to about 70 metres with a road apple

going up the auckland motorway one day riding on the back of the elephant truck

a car load of hoons started yelling abuse

windscreen wipers are not good at moving about 30kgs of road apples

6 of these guys ( ) on this page LA, anyone would think YOU have the elephant

laughter iis something that is easy to share sam

my pockets aren't big enough for an elephant

out of all the animals i have worked with an elephant was probably the tops

they could be so nasty and destructive yet so insecure and gentle

one of jumbos handlers years ago was drunk and crawled into her trailer and fell asleep

she wouldn't let anyone near him to wake him up

so he had the hosed turned on him to wake him up

laughter iis something that is easy to share sam

And that's why YOU are the Sage 8)
