Have we really stooped this low to pin stuff like this? Now maybe a video of it would be neat to see, but obviously none. The 21st is very close and this is what we are reading about here? Come on where is all the doom? Im sure somebody can find something.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28718624 SEE for yourSelf... :) The sooner Man realizes how deeply animals DO feel, is the sooner we recognize our true place on this Planet... :) Just wanted to share... Elephants Hold Apparent Vigil To Mourn Their Human Friend"Lawrence Anthony was a conservationist and author known as "The Elephant Whisperer" who passed away on March 2nd.
In 1999, Anthony rescued and rehabilitated a group of wild South African elephants who were deemed dangerous. And the animals appear to remember what he did for them: when Anthony passed away, a group of elephants visited his house in the South African KwaZulu for a two-day vigil, according to his family.
Anthony, who grew up in rural Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi, was known for his unique ability to communicate with and calm traumatized elephants. In his book 'The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild', he tells the story of saving the elephant herds, at the request of an animal welfare organization.
Anthony concluded that the only way he could save these elephants, who were categorized as violent and unruly, was to live with them - "To save their lives, I would stay with them, feed them, talk to them. But, most importantly, be with them day and night".
When Anthony died of a heart attack, the elephants, who were grazing miles away in different parts of the park, travelled over 12 hours to reach his house. According to his son Jason, both herds arrived shortly after Anthony's death. They hadn't visited the compound where Anthony lived for a year and a half, but Jason says
"in coming up there on that day of all days, we certainly believe that they had sensed it".
