Soleil's "Animals in Thailand" movie

We made this movie after returning home and for Thailand Country Day.  Many of the animals in the "Foe" section are not really dangerous (though some are)...but we took some artistic/dramatic license.

A couple of other notes from Lisa:

There are many ethical issues related to animals in Thailand which Soleil didn't address in this film.  It's questionable how the elephants are treated in many circumstances outside of the sanctuaries.  Also the monkey in the cage was rescued by the owner who clearly loves him and takes good care of him.  He was originally owned by someone who was not as nice to him.  I'm also not sure about the monkey with the lease on which was tied up outside of someones house.  I can say that I didn't have a warm fuzzy feeling about his life.
