Removing a baby from its mother for religious purposes? I will never understand that reasoning.

Nor I. Let's hope the activists prevail. Are you familiar with the elephant sanctuary in TN?

Let the ceremonies go on without the elephants. It is just cruel to remove babies from their mothers at such an early age. Better yet, just let the elephants live on their own.
