I reverted the edit to this page by Anon15, because it is a direct copy and paste from this site which has been neither edited to fit the article nor altered in anyway from the original text, if some of the information needs to be reinserted, the ditor should use their own words.Ms408 00:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi MS408, I have added different language which I hope will meet the Wikipedia standards. Right now, I think that the ankus page is biased b/c it has a sort of "ancient, fancy ivory handle - Hinduism" flavor which is fine but ignores the fact that the bullhook is a tool used to train elephants via pain. Sorry! I think it is fair to mention that. I made my language as polite and academic as I could. It's all not only verifiable, but amply verifiable. The website which I would suggest adding is: http://www.circuses.com/bullhooks.asp. It is as valid to have that site there as the Hindu websites. Don't mean to offend but there is no need to hide the unsavory uses and aspects of this tool.

Cool. Thanks you very much. I went ahead and took the liberty of adding the page you referenced to the articles referfences list.Ms408 04:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Ms408! I am a Wikipedia neophyte and appreciate your patience with me. Have a good day.
