Actually many Indigenous societies had a significant history of protecting the vulnerable before colonisation. The problem isn't humans, it's white supremacy culture/ capitalism. You can definitely learn and do better.

Hello San Diego Zoo, Could you please enhance this captivity to resemble a lush and fertile grassy delta? Some shade, less hot dirt, maybe a waterfall and lazy river? Thanks! 🐘

Many Indigenous societies had a significant history of being this sensitive/protective before colonisation. The problem isn't humans, it's white supremacy culture/ capitalism.

They are very protective of each other and especially their young. Check out Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (they’re on Bluesky). Lots of videos and info about elephants- they go fantastic work.

Wish Americans would create alert circles around those being targeted right now. Being raised in the “individuality mindset” & “pulling up one’s own bootstraps “ should not interfere with working together to save the country.

My brothther holds PhDs in Vertibrate Zoology & Enviromental Biology, Chris. Among his countless research projects is one that has lasted for almost 30 yrs on an Elephant Herd in the Nambian Deseert. Decades of observation & testing. Actions of these highly intelligent wonders surprises me not.

My deepest affection/admiration is for pachyderms (even hippos). They are truly amazing. &Complex. I studied mostly great apes, but actually- they are so like humans it's crazy. No- these creatures are magnificent. Like the mimic octopus.. like the cuttle fish, like the hyena, like the lion, like..

They are more human than humans. And we have a president who is supporting someone who is killing human children. And is there another species who gets enjoyment out of killing their own besides humans?

There’s so much these elephants can teach about empathy, compassion and protecting the most vulnerable among us. Definitely should not be symbol for Republican Party. Sorry Thomas Nast

We pay taxes for roads, the military to keep us safe, medical research, health care, food assistance, education, the preservation and care of of the world creatures from bugs to whales and so much more in cooperation with people of other nations worldwide.

No individual, state, or nation can accomplish this alone. We are like people on one planet with the responsibility to engage, share knowledge & resources. Together, we can preserve these gifts & experience relish the joy they bring.

I looked it up. Apparently it dates back to when Republicans weren't dicks. And they more recently embraced the symbol claiming that elephants represent strength and dignity which are their values. I... laughed a bit when I read that...

Protecting the most vulnerable... is what is no longer in our society. The regime elected is full of bullies, self-absorbed greed infested males, and women who think they are their equal.
