<< sculpture of a baby elephant clutching a baby bottle entitled "More
 Milk, Mommy"!!!! >>
Pearl,
I saw it and This is what I wrote to them:
Even my 7 yr old commented on how inappropriate it is to have an endangered
baby elephant taking a BOTTLE of milk.  This symbolism undermines
breastfeeding promotion efforts, so important to "protect nature's innocents"
(as your ad says) - our HUMAN babies!
