A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. 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.

Vijayanagara Elephant Stables Ceiling Domes
It is thought that the hooks in the ceiling domes of the individual elephant stalls, were used for chains to secure the elephants. Chaining them from the ceiling doesn't make any sense to me. I wonder if the hooks were actually to lift and hold a heavy howdah, much like a heavy draft horse harness, or possibly for hanging a light.
