Jumbo or Dumbo? Tears Spark Wrong Headed Campaign to 'Save' Phuket Elephant

PHUKET: Animal activists in Australia are continuing a mindless campaign to try to save a small Phuket elephant from the ''horror'' of a life in the tourism industry.

The headline on the latest article, published today, says it all: 'My holiday in Thailand turned to hell.'

Clearly, the journalist who wrote that phrase has picked up on the key to the whole misadventure: this is not about ''saving'' the elephant, but about shielding the poor, misty-eyed visitor from sights they don't wish to see.

What a shame that ''Australian traveller''Jamie Singleton has yet to see kangaroos and koalas being culled at home or pet dogs and cats being poached so they can be cooked alive for diners in Vietnam and Laos.

The problem is, you see, that Jamie came to Phuket for a holiday and while out looking for a place to drink, happened to spy a juvenile elephant being petted by children out the front of the Dino Park restaurant.

Now, juvenile elephants have been petted by children out the front of Dino Park for two hours each night for about 15 years.

According to Jamie Singleton, this shouldn't happen.

So the author is OK with them bashing nails into baby elephants' heads so that they become compliant enough to get dragged to a fucking restaurant for retarded tourists to coo over then.

Oh, I forgot, it's that wanker Alan Morrison who laughably calls himself a "journalist".

You can always tell an Australian, but not a lot ...
