Sri Lanka today donated two young female elephants to the Prague zoo. They were flown to the Czech Republic by an Sri Lanka Air Force plane this afternoon. Picture shows one of the young elephants just before leaving the country at the Bandaranaike International Air Port, Katunayake. Pics by Deepa Adikari-Airport

What has this got to do with buddhism? If you want to write anything, bring in facts and talk to the point. Please do not bring religions into this. The problem is not with the religions but with people like you.

1st of all its "Buddhism" not "Buddisam ". Love is not a term applicable to Buddhism. Terms that apply are compassion, kindness, mindful-awareness etc, etc. When a Buddhist say "Sabbe Satta Bhavantu Sukhitatta", its applies to "beings" and not just Humans.

Dr W you are a large hearted Dr with broader mind than most of the so-called true Buddhists pundits who preach hatred instead of compassion, love for another human being irrespective of their ethnicity, they think only one race should live in Sri Lanka others are ,Kalla Thonis. May Lord Buddha's teaching enlighten them to change their attitudes not only to cows and bulls but also to human beings who live in this country.

Zoos are a 19th century (or earlier?) concept. Late 20th century saw the beginning of 'safari parks' and the like that gave animals the freedom to roam but where people could come and see them. Hence, are we going back to the earlier times? These animals belong to the wild or at least a 'park' like Pinnawela where they will not be confined to a small enclosure.

This is such a sinful act. These stupid ministers pull these fast ones to score points but it's the poor animal who suffers in the end. Same fate will happen to those who do these to animals/humans.
Elephants are not meant for those countries, there is a reason why you don't find elephants north of India.0 6

Why not? I have seen elephants near Mount Everest. The babies are so cute and chubby. Not like these 2 who are from Pinnawala. Hope they will have a good time in Europe.

The modern zoo's have all the comforts for animals in the warm climates such as Zebras, Giraffes, lions, rhinos etc etc.,
They have heated facilities even in places like Canada.

not good move. animals should not be used for international diplomacy. ideally they should be freed to yala.

Sad to separate these two from their families. They are supposed to be in the wilderness. These innocent creatures have to suffer just coz we have to maintain cordial relationship with a country. Now that they are sent I hope they are cared for especially in the cooler times...
I'd have preferred to DONATE MALAKA SILVA to the Prague zoo.0 25
Dr. Wicks Saturday, 06 October 2012 11:28 AM
Dont .worry about them. They only cry for the cows ,that too a bogus compassion, only to hurt a section in the community because of the hatred.

So where is all the hue and cry we had earlier when another baby pachy was being gifted to a cold country? Prague to our knowledge is a very cold country. Where are the animal lovers in the country?

This is really shocking and heartening.. Can not tolerate the departure. Why don't these inhuman beings allow these innocent animals to live on this Island as they wish. I am sure these people do not have a human life in their next birth for sure. I personally curse. May these poor baby elephants have a safe life.

Animals should be left alone to roam in their natural habitats.Anybody who want to see them could go on a safari.

these poor elephants are supposed to roam free in the wild with their kith and kin in herds. In this case , lets say they orphaned and was taken care of at the pinnawela. Then they should have stayed there or put in Udawalawe park. These poor animals may get fed well in Czech republic but they are going to be miserable.
