Harry is an African Bull Elephant that has just hit a new gig as as grape crusher for a winery in South Africa. Story is here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1029374/A-vintage-idea-Elephant-Harry-recruited-crush-grapes-South-Africa-Winery.html What a cool way to make wine! Some people might say it's animal cruelty. What do you think? Personally i think it's fine. Harry seems to be enjoying the attention!

If the Elephant enjoys it than more power to him. and if he is getting extra attention thats even better. That is not cruel. its actually loving to treat a animal that way instead of locking him in cages like some circus does.

YES! That's exactly what I am thinking as well! I am glad that someone can see what I see. Thank you for your comment. I love animals and I am glad that I can see them being treated nicely and used for some really interesting work!
