Elephants' woes

Sir, — I refer to the report of the authorities' futile attempts in Thanjavur to move a temple elephant to the Mudumalai sanctuary ( Nov. 15 ). However noble the intention to hold a `rejuvenation camp' for elephants, the methods used to transport them deserve condemnation.

A. Narayanan,

* * * Sir, — Is all the stress and physical pain undergone by the elephants worth it? Ironically, the camp is being organised to rest them and improve their health!
