As my daughter mentioned in our whatsapp reparte: "Guess who just went to a writing retreat?"

You very effectively used an alternate writing style to draw our attention to the pain and suffering caused for our amusement.

Thank you Kathy for this powerful post and sharing the petition, the numbers you quote are shocking. And also thank you so much for your presentation on The Wisdom of Elephants here on Saturday last.

Pfff! Poor little elephant baby. Well done for getting attention for this.

I have signed the petition immediately. Hope it helps.

ps. the link got me to 'your' signing, with your name. Maybe you can still change it to the general 'fill out your name' page?
