Interesting article - circus elephants and conservation

[jrm]

Interesting article. While it was prompted by Ringling Bros. retiring their circus elephants, it is more an editorial on conservation and hunting.

Worth a read.

The reason many people today care about certain animals over others are because they saw them at a circus or a zoo when they were little kids and developed a life long emotional attachment. If people never saw a live elephant until they were an adult I wonder if they would care so much about them? The real impact will be felt when conservationist today are long gone and the children today grow up with little passion for wildlife takes over.
