God, I love elephants! They are so incredibly smart. If you ever get the chance, watch the PBS documentary Unforgettable Elephants. It's awesome!

Elephants are some of the coolest animals! Love it when animals in captivity get such good care!

"love it when animals in captivity get such good care." Wow, those are two conflicting thoughts. Animals IN CAPTIVITY are just like humans IN CAPTIVITY. Is there ever a time when we want to be IN CAPTIVITY? Why would they?!?!?!

very good Panang....­......foll­ow the man's instruction, have a healthy baby so that he can take it away and put it in a more profitable place when needed....­..........­..........­..........­animals are not entitled to their young when in the hands of humans....­......I wish that one day there would be a turn around of power, farm animals included, and that they would remember all who harmed them......­THAT would be justice!
