Support Unusual pose with trunk slung over tusk. -- Tagooty (talk) 16:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Comment Not so keen on the ground tusks for an FP. Hope this captive elephant is treated well, some have a tough time, don't they? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:55, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: Appreciate your concern. The elephant camp in Mudumalai is one of the oldest in India. In the British era the elephants were used for logging. That was stopped many years ago, now the camp is used for rescue and rehabilitation of elephants. Most of the mahouts are tribals who have lived in these forests in harmony with elephants for centuries. Sacred Bond (teaser) is a forthcoming documentary of the bonding between a mahout couple and an orphaned baby elephant. --Tagooty (talk) 04:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The unusual pose notwithstanding, this doesn't really do much for me. Daniel Case (talk) 07:06, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the comments. --Tagooty (talk) 04:04, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
