I had to search for elephants this morning. I had a huge conversation with my 9-year old son last night about elephants, why there is an elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka, about poachers, and why people kill elephants. He had question after question. He wanted to know how poachers were caught, especially when elephants are out in the wild. After much thought, he came up with a plan for catching poachers -- I only wish it would work! His plan was that a Poacher's Bar should be built; obviously, because it is a bar for poachers, all the poachers would choose to go there. Once all the poachers were sitting down, a huge net could be dropped over all of them and they would be caught in the net. Brilliant! If only we could trick them that way :-)
Aw, I love the way kids think.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. What a great idea he came up with.
