Sorry can't resist was it a jumbo jet ?

[mikey4444]

Only a baby Jumbo jet WC !

No, Mikey.I didn't enjoy reading that.

[ummmm]

Cute but it's not really a happy story.

They rescued a baby elephant from a herd that had all been killed. What would have been a really unhappy story...that the poachers had killed the baby as well ?

Flipping heck...some people on here are hard to please sometimes !

[ummmm]

I was expecting a cute elephant on a plane not to read about a herd of elephants that had been massacred.

[mikey4444]

But without the herd of elephants being massacred, there wouldn't have been a baby elephant on the plane !

[Tilly2]

.........using machine guns.

[Ratty2E]

But he died! That's a depressing story, sorry Mikey :-(

Poachers being divebombed by the plane and killed with machine guns and the herd of elephants saved, not THAT would have been a happy story.

I have enough problems pushing my elephant up the stairs.

This is how they get camels on board in the Middle East

I think it's marvellous that there are people like Gary and Wendy caring for animals. Just wish the baby elephant had survived after all the effort put in to help it. Sad that these magnificent animals are still being slaughtered-wish the poachers could have been machine-gunned! Amazing but sad story,mikey4444
