Elephant injured by landmine

[meredith]

<<Six and a half-year-old Moja, wounded in her right rear leg by a landmine, rests after being taken to an animal hospital in Lampang, Thailand, Tuesday. Moja was injured by stepping on a land mine recently in the jungles of Myanmar. Another baby elephant was also hurt while accompanying their mother in the jungles of Myanmar near the Karen state.>>

Sad...

Where'd that news come from?  I want to follow it.

bummer... that is so depressing. If only little Moja could fly like dumbo.. she wouldn't have to worry about landmines.

Dumbo has some serious psych problems...guess it's better than getting a foot blown off....

Of course dumbo had psych problems.. it was a disney film! Just about all of the main characters in a disney film are off their rockers.

I like how baby elephants look like little old men.
