Chang_paarp Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 They bought the elephant to the police station to substantiate their claims. I hope the cops had some heavy duty chairs for the interview. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Of course this undermines valid charitable causes.... Personally I choose not to donate on a casual basis while drinking beer at bars. I suppose the guys donating were on 'Chang'...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoilSpoil Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 They should release her back in Kuiburi national park to rejoin her herd and film it. Nice new TAT video stunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songlaw Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) I was genuinely hoping this had something to do with the poor bloke who was led to believe he had purchased an "elephant sanctuary," allowed to "work" in it, and subsequently took his own life upon coming to the realization that he had been in fact, royally had. That story will haunt me for the remainder of my days. May the perpetrator(s) of that ruse hang. This story, by comparison, barely even registers. She is wedged in there pretty well, just the same. Kind of like a size 7 foot in a size 5 shoe. Whoa. Please forgive the edits. I am apparently experiencing a verb tense crisis of sorts.
