General Chat

I was watching GMTV this morning and there was an article featuring Helen Worth (Gail Platt in Coronation Street) and she was in Kenya looking at the plight of the Elepahnts that are still being slaughtered for there Ivory. Namibia wants to reopen the Ivory Trade. We need to stop this. To support this please go to GM(.)TV website and sign the petition. Thanks for your support. Sharon Smith.

Thanks for this, Sharon. Joy

i will too sharon Elaine x

nudge

Its a barbaric trade - will certainly go to the site

I saw it too and it was awful to see how upset she was. I logged on after watching it and signed the petition. Im not particularly an animal lover, but its horrific to imagine some of the things that people do to them. Sheila xx

Lynda, Sharon and I were supposed to go to Sri Lanka for our honeymoon, we were going to the sanctuary, but sadly we had to alter our plans (won't bother with details). We'll get there one day hopefully :) Paul

I could do with a holiday, where do I sign ? lol We were going to Sri Lanka for a week and then Maldives for a week. Nearly cried when we had to cancel lol

ive been a full paid up member of..animal rights..for the last eighteen years........but wot about the..kids.. of africa..nice loving an elephant,but he would trample on you...kids wont,they would be grateful for just a cuddle...lets be realistic,kids are starving...sxd the elephants...lets get food to to the kids. bryan.

what a nice view Bryan For information - we give to two childrens charities every month. The cruel slaughter of these wonderful creatures is worthy of a moment of our time to sign a petition surely

paul...babies born in africa...are 70% sure of being HIV POSITIVE...do you really think that elephants are more worthy of our of our donations,than these babies,born innocent...sorry,dont think so! bryan.

Sharon Thanks I will do it too Lynda elephants are my fave too! I was even able to add my mates to the list, I could have added more people who would agree. Pat x

Bryan, read again what I said.. not askign you to donate, just sign a petition

I have added my name Christine x

Will go and sign the petition, I missed the TV prog thanks for reminding me Jan

me and cliff have both signed the petition this morning we also give to childrens charities to as and wen we want lou xx

Will do, thank you Sharon Jude sarf wales

Bryan I think you are letting your feelings towards paul run away from the fact that they are asking ONLY for people to sign a petition for these elephants. As Paul said, they sponser two childrens charities. They are not asking that people take preferance of the elephants over the plight of the children. Maybe if you feel so strongly about these poor children (who are totally unrelated to the subject of this thread ) Then why dont you either start a new thread highlighting this problem, find a website with a petition we can all sign, or sponser a child yourself.

Thanks Sharon, I have signed the petition. Lynda
