ReplyDeleteOK!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog via Amanda & the ice bucket challenge. I love bucket lists so I had a little read - I love nearly all of them but I needed to comment on no21.
ReplyDeletePlease youtube The Pajaan, a "ceremony" which involves taking a calf from its mother and horrifically abusing it in order to break its wild spirit and be submissive enough to work at logging, circus tricks or giving tourists a ride. Its sickening what they go through & they live in fear for the rest of their lives.
After working at an elephant sanctuary, I think promised myself I'd speak up whenever I got the chance as most people simply don't know the cruelty they're supporting.
Apologies for being the crazy stranger on your blog!! Kat
Hi Kat,
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out - I will look into this. No animals are to be harmed in the completion of my bucket list.
