We also have over seventy-five donations this quarter of $100 or more!! FReeper I_be_tc donates $100 per quarter and challenges 300 other FReepers to do the same.

The Elephants Knew

And some will say there is no God,
Try and tell that to the elephants. . . .

THE ELEPHANT'S JOURNEY TO PAY RESPECT,
BUT HOW DID THEY KNOW?



Lawrence Anthony,
A legend in South Africa and author of 3 books

Including the bestseller, The Elephant Whisperer.

He bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all
Over the globe from human atrocities, including the courageous
Rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals during US invasion in 2003.

On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.

He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons,
2 grandsons, and numerous elephants.

Two days after his passing, the wild elephants
Showed up at his home led by two large matriarchs.

Separate wild herds arrived in droves to
Say goodbye to their beloved 'man-friend'.

A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked
Over 112 miles to get to his South African House.


Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only
Because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these
Elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of
The profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked
In such an organized way:

Walking slowly, for days, making their way in a solemn
One-by-one queue from their habitat to his house.

Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched,
Knowing that the elephants had not been to
His house prior to that day for well over 3 years!
But yet they knew where they were going.

The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respects,
Honoring their friend who'd saved their lives - so much respect
That they stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything.
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey
Back home.

SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS GREATER
AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.

IN GOD WE TRUST

Thank you for sharing it with us.

[DJ MacWoW]

I remember reading about that and being awed.

[RedMDer]

That is an amazing story. I wonder how they knew that their care giver passed away.

Been reading a few threads today, the old lefties are certainly in a *Snit* today, LOL!!

[humblegunner]

Sorry about the mower :(

Getting wet doesn't hurt it. It's just against policy.

Cats or coons knocked off the board on the hood weighing down the tarp.

It's much cleaner now, no worries.

[TheOldLady]

I’m so happy that you liked it. It struck me deeply. They traveled 112 miles, somehow having sensed their champion had fallen. [blurry screen]

And regardless how, they knew where to go and how to pay tribute. Two days without eating must have been hard for such huge creatures.

I was completely floored after reading it for the first time.

Obama returns to his Chicago roots for the implementation of Obamacare.

While this is just a little plea for

DONATIONS

[TheOldLady]

Yes, indeed, First Darling.

I can’t even imagine killing an animal so intelligent and beautiful.
