I just received new's that Alexis Casselly was seriously injured when one of the Casselly elephants "lost his balance and fell," crushing Mrs. Casselly right leg with his tusk. The Casselley's were appearing on Gran Circo Mundial in Madrid, and she was admitted to La Paz Hospital, where her prognosis is considered serious. I wish good luck and a speedy recovery to a classy lady and her family.

Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Alexis Casselly injured

And so say all of us.
ReplyDeleteI have a contact in Spain with good circus connections. The latest he's heard is that things are not as bad as were first expected, BUT he's not sure if that's just PR. I'll keep you posted.
ReplyDeletei heard that to, according to a dutch zoo website she only had a 3 inch cut in her thigh and she is already at home. I don't know how mutch of this is true, because of inconsistend repports in the Spanisch and Belgium media about what really happend.
