Bri wanted to post this but she was busy. The zoo has a contract with the company called Have Trunk Will Travel to sell new born elephants when they are born. The zoo says it hasn't made an official decision but may sell it after 30 days of age. Many are upset about the baby being taken away from it's mother despite young elephants reliance on it mother. In the wild they are cared for years by their mothers. Others are worried about abuse in movie studios and circuses.

They've been around a hell of a lot longer than Humans. Sad to hear about something like this.

Lawrence Anthony, a legend in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer, 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 12 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…………

That's amazing... And to think people slaughter them for their fucking tusks.
