"Make somebody happy today. Mind your own business". ~Ann Landers
Sometimes, you may think you know whats best for an animal, but remember that the animal doesnt have a voice of its own to express its feelings, and since the animal is not treated badly, or hurt, then consider it happy and safe. After all this time with the family, I think the animal would be worse off if taken away.

Let's let them live out their lives in peace - all of the family.

People who travel with their animals are bonded with their needs and the become family. How could and do gooders presume they know better? I see spoilt young people own horses, get another hobby and leave them bored and alone in boring paddocks. How are the owners accountable for boring their animals to death? The elephant at the circus loves seeing the people. She is happy!!!

If your circus was doing anything illegal you would have been shut down long ago. These people havnt go a clue on how elephants have to survive in asia. Begging by the roadside with their mahouts. I know as I travel to Thailand three times a year, and I always stop to buy a bucket of sugar cane and bananas to help their owners survive as they can't go back to the wild and there is no work for them now. I havnt heard a peep from these do gooders...

]]> Thu, 7 Oct 2010 04:11:35 UTC 8660709 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8621190?utm_medium=rss I have read both sides of the story. Those of you at Perry Bros Circus who care for Saigon obviously love her and she is part of your circus family.

I saw her at Cheltenhame and how can they say she was mistreated, quite the opposite! And saying that she looked bored, she had other animals with her, and i always saw people out there with her. Everything has gone so politically correct and its bulls*t. They proved that they love her because I am sure that they could have spent the money that it costs for them to feed, transport n look after her some other way! <3

There has only once been money to go to the show, but I have always loved them, later I took my own children, and was pleased that I had the oportunity to take some of my grandchildren, just to stand and look. I love them, and know they wouldnt be so well behaved if they were not cared for.

]]> Sun, 27 Jun 2010 06:43:52 UTC 8019375 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8016187?utm_medium=rss My daughter was delighted to see Saigon at Cheltenham as well as her "friends" the pony & camel. Chatting to the ticket seller it became clear that she was very much part of the family. The love when he spoke of her, and his obvious concern for her welfare, (completely unprompted by us) would have put anyone's mind to rest that she was, as you say, a much loved pet. We hope she stays a part of your family for many years to come.

She is one of the family and you can't put a price on that. I have seen her at Cheltenham and she is very well looked after. Her scenery would change every few weeks so boredom would be minimal plus she has the love of her family.

So to the interferring people - keep your noses out of things that DONT concern you. If Saigon was not being looked after she wouldnt be out in the sun enjoying herself.

]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2010 09:54:17 UTC 7939771 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7927436?utm_medium=rss I have seen Saigon and she does not appear stressed or mistreated. Just an "old lady" passing the time and still with an adoring fan club of kids big and small. I agree with Lorraine Maynard's comments and look upon Saigon as the beloved "family pet'. GOOD LUCK and keep spreading the love and joy...

]]> Sat, 12 Jun 2010 11:00:48 UTC 7927436 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7926950?utm_medium=rss I saw the story on this elephant, & think it should live out its days with the only family it has ever known.

]]> Sat, 12 Jun 2010 07:31:37 UTC 7926950 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7926899?utm_medium=rss I have seen Saigon & she looks very well cared for. She had plenty of freedom & seemed very content. I have seen elephants in the wild that do not look anywhere near as healthy. I believe if there is no problem why fix it?? I do not personally know anyone involved in the circus & this is an independant opinion. Maybe the animal welfare groups need to direct their attention to animals in real need!

]]> Fri, 4 Jun 2010 12:27:25 UTC 7855507 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7852702?utm_medium=rss I also believe that your Saigon would be distressed if ripped away from her known life and carers. If you left her behind at home she would fret and probably wonder what she is being "punished" for! I know my much loved ridgeback doggie is at her happiest whenever she joins us in our daily activities and outings! My only concern for your Saigon would be if she has any joint pains, that they are not exacerbated by the travelling around.
Safe travelling.

Ingrid Schmuki.
