disturbing is one word for it and I'll let it go at that.
Good Grief!
What was cool and a conversation piece back then is today totally unacceptable. As is the abuse of tusks and rhino horns for the myth of increased sexual potens. Once the animals are all gone, what next will ego-minded people come up with? Nice photo of the interior, but the elephant trunk ...... Keep up the good work. :-)
Disturbing & horrific. And it's not as if we humans don't continue to treat our fellow living beings with cruelty - just today I read that Volkswagon, BMW & Mercedes financed experiments in 2014 in which monkeys were purposely exposed to diesel fumes for hours at a time.
It's very beautiful and very nice!
A vivid reminder of what we should not and should do to protect endangered animals.
Excellent
too bad for the elephant .several people I worked for were big game hunters in Africa and they always asked me to hang their latest senseless slaying of an animal. I did not enjoy, but I wanted the money. one home had a huge family room that was full of African animals and the lady was so proud of her son killing beautiful animals that had the right to survive
