The elephant is only non-simian land animal that can recognize itself.
There is something to be said of for that.
Elephants can recognize other elephants that they have not seen in years and they also recognize humans that they have not seen in years.
I don’t think we should be killing animals that display traits of human like intelligence.
Thank you!
This twisted world gets uglier by the day.
Nothing is cherished!!
Cherished, sentient creatures!
Those who know me will remember my amazing elephant collection. I even got to ride one! All lost to Almeda.
Over the years I got gifts from loved ones of elephants. Fabulous ones!! I miss them so. My social climbing half sister sent me a purse made of elephant hide...I thought it was a disgusting gesture. I couldn’t throw it out. I packed it away for 40 years and finally decided to honor the elephant and use it.
We aren’t allowed to cherish anything anymore. It’s all too fleeting.
BABIES lives.. don’t matter. We even destroy our cherished sexuality now! I cherished being a mother and wife and woman!!
I cherished my country! Patriotic is a dirty word.
My God.
How did we come to this?
Hold on there!!
