Thanks. Of course the Trumps and their ilk care nothing about these amazing animals. Except for their ivory.

What a wonderful gesture and outcome. I can't imagine hurting one of these majestic animals. So beautiful. So smart. And some truly wonderful people!!

Thank you for the post.

What a "Thank You" from the herd! How could anyone possibly kill these animals?!

Not easy to just scim the surface pushing fine dirt in like that.

Couldn't help but say, "C'mon little fellow! You can do it!" as the baby started trying to climb out.

I can only hope that someday the magnificent animals that Dumb and Dumber slaughter get their sweet revenge.

Blood-thirsty fucks. May Karma get them sooner than later.

I wouldn't have been able to finish the video.

Amazing the way the elephants thanked the people. Tell me these aren't intelligent creatures.

... but we have a history of being too stupid to recognize it in our fellow sentient species here on earth.

We humans who hunt elephants and destroy their lands are a nasty lot.

I say the same of those who hunt whales, or destroy the habitats of orangutans.

May we humans someday have the grace to control our numbers and share this world with our equally sentient neighbors.
