A sad but compelling story about elephants.

I wrote a 5 paragraph comment criticizing these stupid, insensitive homo-centric assholes posting to this video, but the damn site 'error-ed' my post. I'll have to try another time...Bill Maher is on w/Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson right now.

Hopefully some of you folks will give 'em hell.

on edit: I've sent money to support the Elephant Sanctuary in Tenn many times. They sell t-shirts too. :)

1. to clarify
It deepens my disgust with humans to read the posts to the touching video linked above. Ck. out what they wrote---just unbelievably insensitive, dumb, callous statements.

And in my post above, I called them homo-centric---that was my shorthand for homosapien-centric. But you folks knew that. Some people must feel that the universe turns around them!

Here's a related great post on this subject by LeftyMom:
