Letters Story insulting to Thailand METRO Regarding the story, "Travel Around Thailand," (Metro, Oct. 6) about the
idiot who thought it was great to steer an elephant like a car: The elephant is not an "it" -- she is a living, breathing sentient being
who probably had babies that were stolen from her so that some human could
make a profit from them. She is not a block of wood, nor a "thing" you steer like a car. The term
"Dumbo" is an antiquated Disney term that should go the way of "Amos 'n
Andy" or "Little Black Sambo." Insulting literature and language of the past
does not belong in an enlightened society. Kiley Blackman Yonkers, N.Y. Fair Use Notice: This document may contain
