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 http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1555631&member 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 http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1555631&member

You look really happy there, and both elephants appear eager to take those bananas from you.

Cute baby elephants and banana giver ! did you notice the line through the middle of this capture, you might need to get your camera checked, the same happened to my old Pentax and couldn't be fixed, hopefully it's just an up-load glitch ! Nice capture though & ~Cheers~ :o)

Cows envy me walking outside the fense where the grass is greener. I used to moo at them and pet their noses as they would stick them over the fence. Now I am more respectful of their role for their owners and allow them to merely watch with curious eyes. I knew a girl once who was troubled by my working with mechanical objects. The last day I ever saw her I drove her to the bus station in a blizzard when her parents could not get out on the roads. She wrote to me that she was taking holy orders in the Lutheran church at a seminary for senior men. That is what I found about the place just recently on the Internet. A few women did go there for training.

I see the chains on the elephants... very strong animals. I have see elephants in documentaries where they have broken chais bigger than these, so the animals must be happy and content where they are. ...and yes, i'd like to see you upload your other elephant stuff.

A wonderfull dedication image and a superb capture too. African elephants are best avoided, and I don't blame them for their anger towards humans, it's is sad though that many innocent elephant loveres are sometimes killed by elephants who tend to see all humans a a thread!

Yes! Please show us the elephant hospitals. I believe that any good you do to any creture counts for something. Even feeding the elephants! These young ones are beautiful!

Cette image me rappelle notre voyage en Thailande. Voilà beaucoup d échanges et de tendresse avec ces sacrés animaux! Bel effet de symétrie. Les animaux ont l'air de sourire autant que toi.
