Description
Est-ce que donner des bananes aux éléphants fait gagner des mérites aussi ?
En principe il n´y a pas des éléphants autour des temples avec vendeurs de bananes, mais il faut dire que ce ne serait pas pratique
Il faudra demander à une autorité religieuse compétente, mais je dirait que oui
Tout le bien qu´on fait à un être être vivant est porteur de mérites
D´accord, là vous me connaissez assez pour savoir que la réponse ne m´inquiète pas trop
J´adore donner des bananes aus éléphants et je ne m´en prive pas de ce plaisir
Les éléphants en Thailande et Birmanie sont domestiqués et ils travaillent
Ils sont en général trés bien traités et on droit a un bain dans la rivière tous les jours
Là, ils ont une patte enchaînée pour ne pas s´enfuir ni avancer sur les gens
Mais il y a peu d´endroits au monde où l´on puisse aprocher les animais comme ça, les toucher, jouer avec eux D´ailleurs, quand on offre les bananes il faut retirer sa main vite, sinon ils commencent à la mâcher aussi Mais ce n´est pas dangereux, vous voyez que j´ai toujours deux pattes et ça fait des années que je fais ça !
La dernière fois que j´étais en Thailande, j´ai fait un reportage sur deux des cinq hôpitaux pour éléphants au monde, dont le plus ancien du monde
Si cela vous interesse, je montrerait des photos plus tard
Et merci infiniment a HUISMUS pour

Give bananas to elephants make win merits too?
In principle there are no elephants around temples or bananas-sellers, but its not very practical
It will ask a competent religious authority, but I supposed that yes
All of the good acts made to a living being carries merits
Okay, then you know me enough to know that the answer does not worry me too
I love feed elephants, specially give bananas, I did not deprive me of that pleasure
Elephants in Thailand and Burma are domesticated, and they work
They are usually very well treated and it was right to a great bath in the river every day
Here, they have one leg chained to not go away or injured people
But there are few places in the world where we can approach the animals like that, touch them, play with them
The technical, when you offer bananas is give must quickly withdraw his hand, otherwise they begin to chew also you hand But it is not dangerous, you see I have always two hands and it's been years that I do that!
The last time I was in Thailand, I made a reportage about two of the five hospitals for elephants in the world, including the oldest one
If you are interested, I would show pictures later
And thank you very much to HUISMUS for

Quote"The last time I was in Thailand, I made a reportage about two of the five hospitals for elephants in the world, including the oldest one If you are interested, I would show pictures later" Unquote I for one would be very interested, in the hospital for elephants. This is a wonderful capture, these look like young ones but I guess the younger they are the better they learn. They are after all, like our work horses, they must work to earn their keep. This I do not have a problem with. It is also good that you earn merits for giving bananas, you must have a lot of merits, giving banans and setting birds free plus putting gold leaf on the big rock. I am counting these merits, lol. The lady in this shot looks to be very happy feeding the elephants and to have her photograph taken, I think. Excellent image and narrative, it is always a pleasure to read a little of your adventure. Bravo!!!!!

This is a brilliant capture and a fantastic write up. I love the composition of the picture itself, and the quality of your writing is great, even in translation. You have such great philosophical and social perceptions. It's always a pleasure to read your work and see your images! Great work!

Yet another wonderful picture and story to go along side it. I think how marvellous it must be to visit these exotic and amazing places and cultures that I cannot imagine that I will ever see. Looks like it has been a Photographers dream. Thankyou so much for sharing these images. I also would be interested to see the Elephant Hospitals, please do upload pictures of this in the near future.

Thank you Mousson, you touched my heart. I have no problem with animals that are already domesticated, for a period of thousands of year’s people and animals work together. But I do have a problem with people that do the animals injustice. Again my English is not good enough to tell you exactly how and way. My circus was all about the fact that cities ban the circus in Holland that has animal acts in it. And my opinion was: that is not a good solution. Again, I know that there are many marvelous people that rescue everything they can; it’s a shame that they have to do that. Once there where theaters with so called freaks in it, thank the Lord that it happens no more. One day a circus without animals? Who knows? We can’t go back, I know, it’s to late, rescue what you can rescue. Or is it just a mater of evolution? I don’t know, and really, I don’t want to know. One day I tell you about a grizzly they shot in a theatre, I was just a bear. I knew that bear and he is still in my mind. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, it’s a great honor that you pay attention to my, sometimes difficult questions. And maybe I see it all wrong, maybe I am just an old fool, but a fool that has seen a lot. About the religion, I think it’s a very good attitude towards everyone. There is nothing new under the sun: is an expression in Holland. Some of us pay for a chair in heaven in Holland; don’t tell anyone I told you. LOL May the sun always shine upon you. Dirk Huismus And please do show that pictures you are talking about!

Très intéressant... de passage puisqu'encore en congés, je "tombe" sur ton post qui m'interpelle! Ton savoir et tes expériences sont une mine d'or, et de plus, sans en avoir touché, j'adore les éléphants! De plus, cette capture est superbement symbolique avec ces deux trompes qui se rejooignent et notre "fleur" Rosely au centre, j'adore! Mais je reste inconditionnellement contre les cirques avec animaux ainsi que la corrida, les courses de lévriers, les combats de coqs et de chiens... mais là est un autre débat!!!
