My personal opinion... I'm against getting Elephants involved in even Asela Perahera![]()

hey bro
y think these elephansts dont like that
they gets all the "conforts and sapa sampath they need
and the perahara is only once a year
i dont think going for the perahara for once a year is any problem
some elephanst like raja atha has been devoted to this task...
and y think elephansts who dont have food and die of farmers in jungles are btter
never
in the dalada perahara elepnahst
they gets great food
greta freedom
and that is all bro


So you are saying its OK to stress an Animal once a year.. that too for a Buddhist procession?
"Sapa" in your terms / in our terms, we are not on the same page with Animals bro, Animals belongs in the wild... besides why choose only certain Elephant's to be at the Perahara? that's discrimination
They may die in wild without food, but that's just one side of the story, if an Elephant dies in the wild it will be food to other animals that's starving, preserving the balance of nature!
wel we dont know what elephants feels
but i bet they feel comfortable ..
when they get food
and everything
even freedom
they cna wonder in the ares given to the maliga elephanst..
so what else?
preserving nature is ok..
but y have to remmebr y cant put this like slavery
it is insane
how come it cna be
if they chained all dya and night
and not given food
that is slavery
but this is a luxurey life for those elephanst
btter than us sometimes!!!!!!!!!!
remember raja atha
hey sri lion bro
we dont have to argue about this thing
as it is very sensitive thing for some
ok
elakiri
I think this was a very bad attempt to discredit Dalada Maligawa. it's very bad influence if the Elephant Calves separated from their mothers from very young age like 2 Yrs. but did you guys noticed that a NGO was screaming behind this trying to score some points for them. even i was upset about this situation earlier then i could clearly see that was carried out again again trying to drag Dalada Maligawas name to discredit both the temple and the Mahasangha. im not amazed that some people going for long shot calling carrying Karaduwa is a sin saying that it's not accepted what Lord Buddha said. don't you guys see something fishy going behind the scene?

Dont get misunderstand between Buddhism and Culture.Do you think Lord Buddha would approve all this? just for a procession of his tooth?
True its our culture, but how do you know for sure what the Elephant feels.. do they at least measure the stress levels of the animals before or after the Perahera? (I dont know whether they really do this, if they do at least that's better)
What is this? having an innocent animal wear wires all over the body and made to walk along the streets... I've seen from my own eyes the guy poking the animal just to control it, this is also Animal Slavery if you look at it..
Then again... its my personal view.. yours might be different!![]()

agreedLol machan, for example we called the Nidahas madhya wyaparaya (Headed by Sunanda Deshapriya) as a Genuine movement! you could clearly saw what has happened to that. i didn't justified that moving 2yr Elephant calves. im totally against it. just follow my post again bro.
Dont get misunderstand between Buddhism and Culture.
Buddhism is very different from the cuture.
Dalanda perehera is a Cultural thing and it has mixed with hindu culture also.
aGREED ANIWAANow these NGO has no works after war finished now they have involved to other all matters for make sure international funds for them.
Also some extreme religious groups now trying to create problems for Buddhist things.
Please be careful .
anyway machanOfcourse they don't treat those Elephants bad because they make lots of money out of them, most of those Elephant's are "rented" out to other processions around Sri Lanka.
How many times have you heard Elephant's in captivity killing its owners, WHY? you know they get mad when its their mating season right? Are they really free?
Yes I understand, I dont like to talk about it either, some things are so deeply rooted in our culture that I guess its already passed the point of no return.. anyway I love elephants, they are our PRIDE!
why are u bringing the criminal sunanda to thisLol machan, for example we called the Nidahas madhya wyaparaya (Headed by Sunanda Deshapriya) as a Genuine movement! you could clearly saw what has happened to that. i didn't justified that moving 2yr Elephant calves. im totally against it. just follow my post again bro.
