A Huge Tragedy
Rumors have
abounded since Monday 24th April but as yet I am unaware of the tragic story
appearing the press anywhere.
Tragedy struck the
bachelor group of elephants at La Reserva del Castillo de las Guardas near
Seville in Spain. Six out of the seven animals has succumbed to some sort of
poisoning. The exact cause has yet to be confirmed but it is believed to be
botulism.
My sincere
condolences to the keepers of these wonderful animals. Losing one is bad enough
but six must hurt very badly.
