Wishing a very Happy Pongal for all tamilians.

Pongal is a harvest festival dedicated to the Sun God. Pongal is an occasion for family re-unions and get-together. Old enmities, personal animosities and rivalries are forgotten. Estrangements are healed and reconciliation effected.

Indeed, Thai Pongal is a festival of freedom, peace, unity and compassion crystallized in the last hymn on unity in the Indian spiritual text the Rig Veda. Thus, love and peace are the central theme of Thai Pongal.

We urge the Government of Sri Lanka to return 100 illegally captured elephants to the wild. Through a surprising and controversial court order on 20th May close to 100 young elephants are set to go back go those who captured them illegally. A stay order has been given - a final verdict on the future of these elephants will be known after another court hearing tomorrow 9 June. Sri Lanka’s image within animal welfare and conservation circles hangs in the balance. Will the court give these young elephants a new chance permitting their rehabilitation and return to the wild? Or will the court decide that they must be returned to their illegal captors?

A decision that allows these elephants to remain long-term victims of outdated religious and cultural practises doesn’t serve Sri Lanka well; it will represent a dark day for Sri Lankans and all nature lovers inside and outside the country. We strongly hope respect for Sri Lanka’s wildlife heritage and animal welfare concerns will prevail. We see no point in sharing with you disturbing footage of elephants being abused and chained in the name of human practises. Instead we’ll share with you some of our own photos of wild Sri Lankan elephants in natural habitat. This is the wonderful Sri Lanka that we all appreciate and want to experience.
