POURQUOI CONTINUER D' IGNORER ET DE NE PAS VOULOIR RECONNAITRE LES EMOTIONS DES ANIMAUX
N' OUBLIONS PAS QUE LES ELEPHANTS SONT PARMI LES PLUS INTELLIGENTS.. C' EST CRUEL ET HONTEUX!!!
Last week footage of five young elephants being captured
in Zimbabwe to sell to zoos travelled round the world. Parks officials
used helicopters to find the elephant families, shot sedatives into the
young ones, then hazed away family members who came to the aid of the
drugged young ones as they fell.
The film, shared exclusively with the Guardian, showed the young
captives being trussed up and dragged on to trucks. In the final moments
of footage, two men repeatedly kick a small dazed elephant in the head.
Removing young elephants from their parents and sending them into
captivity is largely justified on the basis that they do not feel and
suffer as we do.

....Elephants are most touching with the care they devote to their young and
siblings. Several years ago in Kenya’s Amboseli national park, Dr Vicki Fishlock
and I watched elephant families on their daily commute. Some of the
elephants bathed in a spring-fed pool, but when they emerged shiny and
wet, one stay-behind adult had not yet entered the water. Her baby was
hesitant. The mother was patient, tapping the water with her trunk as if
to indicate her intention. We watched the patient mother enter the
water with her baby. The baby got alongside, wrapping her trunk around
her mother’s right tusk for support. Soon the water floated the baby,
and the mother, with her own trunk, guided her child to the farther
shore.....
