Return the Baby Elephants to their mother

If you haven’t seen the story here is in the nut shell . Sri Lanka has the largest and well maintained Elephants orphanage in the world. Its called Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Recently two baby elephants were taken away from their mother where all were happily living at the orphanage and given to one of the main temple in Sri Lanka. I am really ashamed of Sri lanka’s highest Buddhist institute. As the followers of great philosophy Asgiriya and Malwatte Temples had the opportunity to refuse the donation from heartless minister. But they didn’t. Load Buddha was person who understood the relationship between mother and child. He went further by putting regulations where a young child can not enter to a life of Bikku with out permission of their parents. Its sad to see a Buddhist Country like Sri Lanka taking away child from a mother. Yes, it can be an animal but I doubt mother love changes from humans to animals. Especially when you talk elephants who are extremely smart.

I am bias because elephants are my favorite animals in this planet. I have had many close calls, but I still love them, who couldn’t, even poets have written poems about elephants. My biggest frustration was President Mahinda Rajapaksha whom I thought would do the right thing went and officially handed over the elephants to the temple.

Hardly 10 people read my blog in a given day, month, or even year but if any one read this please put a comment requesting elephants to be return to their mother and I am planning to print all the comments and forward them to both presidents office and both the temples.
