Hope Gotabaya will release that poor Elephant "jailed" in Bellanwila Temple. This poor animal does not deserve this suffering. We should have COMPASSION to all beings. Gota ball is in your court!

When few other countries making delicacy from the innocent creatures like this ,its a nice gesture to symbolise Country and Nation simplicity of Sri Lanka. Priceless....

From my experience at Unawatuna, the babies make their way to the sea at night to escape predators. As such this display would have ended up with most of the babies eaten up. Sad.
