Education is the Key

July 29

Earlier this week I was once again on a plane. My mission was to assist in animal control officer training. The more an officer knows about elephants, the better equipped they are to protect elephants and the public.

The officers were seriously interested in the information provided. From my assessment, their new knowledge will enhance their ability to identify elephant suffering.

Animal control officers are on the front lines. In some cases, they are a performing elephants’ only empowered champion. The more informed these officers are, the greater their chances are of protecting performing elephants in their jurisdiction.

    This is an excellent use of your knowledge and talents, Carol. I am glad to hear that Animal Control is interested in learning more about the way that exotic animals should be treated, so that they can do their job more effectively. Thank you for taking your time to assist in such a needed way. I admire you so much for your dedication and commitment to elephants. Thank you for keeping us informed of all the good work you are doing on their behalf.
