The elephants of King Narai the Great and Other noblemen were kept here and used for trasportation, and sometimes for hunting. The elephant stables also housed the mahouts and royal elephant caretakers, who worked in shifts.
When folks reference "roots" and how long something has been done, I don't think they look at the whole picture? It is not just about sitting up on a tub in the circus. It is much more then then that, and other "roots" need to be considered, besides just our own and what is good for us today. I should hope we could establish a future for our dependents/children, and not just "get ours today."

The Native Americans of the New York nations have an expression, "Unto the seventh generation", we don't even care what we leave the next generation. As you say we are only interested in what we get today.
Billy,
That is exactly what I fear is going on with things like the MC festival. I something or someone had confiscated the zoo animals, we would have heard screaming all the way over here. Put the Prince "gives" them to the sanctuary, with a massive publicity campaign and the worlds, "an animal doesn't belong in a zoo or a circus" and not a word is said. Just get back in the buffet line, and cry that there are no animal acts available for the Prince to give an award to????? I'll get mine today, forget tomorrow.
