Tim Gorski spoke about the illegal elephant trade in last night's lecture.  He's wild and he's been risking his life for animal rights for many years.  He's been busy living a James Bondian existence travelling all over the world making movies and fighting evil.  He's fought for whales in Antarctica and Mustangs in the American West.

For his latest work, he has been posing as an elephant buying agent, and following elephants from collecting them in the wild to the breaking and the selling and finally to the working life.  He's been working closely with Lek at Elephant Nature Park in tracking elephants and documenting their treatment.  And raising peoples' awareness of this issue.

Last night he showed clips from his documentaries and discussed how we can make a difference for these animals.  Particularly graphic was the scenes covering the breaking of the elephants' spirits.  Nothing deserves to be struck with a crowbar...  Thanks Tim, for sharing your research with us and inspiring us with your passion and adventures.  Good luck on your journey.
