My hope for mankind is to be able to coexist on a global level with all of nature. One would think that tea would be able to bring peace and a harmonic balance to society, guess not in this deplorable situation.
What’s sad is how intelligent those elephants really are. How could anyone not feel like they’re wonderful, beautiful creatures?
Wow, that is completely said on both accounts, the ruined tea garden and the elephants being pushed out of their homes.
Thank you for sharing…
