  • There playing with there friends corpse. They don't have feelings you stupid fucks.

  • @h3avysoundz

    "They're playing with their friend's corpse". Also, burn in hell. :-)

  • @h3avysoundz you put your dead loved one in a casket after putting it in nice clothes so every one can stare at it. Humans are playing with there friends corpse. Humans don't have feelings you stupid fuck :P

  • If they're so smart, why don't they post some comments?

  • @cpypcy Oh, they're trying. But with those feet... You know...

    "D'oh! Curse you evolution!" *bang**thump**bang*

  • because you can prove this is mourning because the are touching the bones? yeah okay.

    except not.

  • This video is so dirty i switched to porn when my mom walked in

  • look at that little one at 0.30

  • All animals feel, think and dream. That's why I don't eat them.

  • @ZoldierrZzz plants have feelings too....

  • @thctony

    What makes you think that? The fact that plants don't have brains? Nervous systems? They are living organisms, but they are not individuals with personalities. They're not sentient creatures who can think, feel and dream. They're not self-aware or conscious. Don't delude yourself comparing plants to animal life. And if you care about plants (which you don't), stop eating meat. One meat eater wastes 20 times more plants than one vegan, causes more harm to the environment + kills animals.

  • @ZoldierrZzz no need to get hostile on me, i m a vegetarian too....just click on wikipedia or google or youtube type down 'plants have feelings' and educate yourself...peace

  • @thctony

    I'm not getting hostile. I'm only trying to tell you that you are delusional thinking that plants have feelings. You are uneducated and ignorant of plant and human physiology.

  • @ZoldierrZzz try coming with a real argument. One could say: "All bikes have wheels, handle bars and a saddle. That's why I don't ride them", but that's doesn't make any sense.

  • @aRRoSC2

    Lol, you are stupid and you don't make any sense. All I am saying is that we shouldn't kill if we don't have to. Humans, just like the rest of the great apes, can live and be healthy on a plant based diet. We don't have to eat meat, hence we don't have to kill animals. If we can chose between peace and violence, then it is a moral obligation to chose peace.

  • The time is coming when mankind realizes itself, and turns away from the technology.

  • I'm seeing a bunch of people mentioning that only humans experience grief & other emotions, while others say the contrary about animals. We'll I've looked everywhere and it appears that all the only animals that show love, sadness, grief, lonelyness, etc are all warmblooded vertebrates. What about insects? do they do all these things that mammals and vertebrates do? I mean when people say animals I always think of ALL species belonging to the Animalia kingdom not just the furries and fuzzies.

  • If people say: "Wow, that looks just like a human" I slap them. It's ignorant to say such a thing because in the end we are animals and so we are all alike.

  • did anyone see the special where a mother gave birth during a drought, a male chased her off (mistaking her estrus for being in heat) and the grandmother kept watch over the newborn til it died... but every member of the family gathered to handle the remains before leaving the site to migrate after the rain? amazing.

  • JE NE REGARDE PLUS LES VIDEOS AVEC PUBLICITE

    I STOP TO WATCH VIDEO WITH PUB  BYE BYE

  • Maybe they like bones

  • @jojopuppyfish

    Lol, elephants if they can, go to a special place when they die. When they are dying, they know, and they take themselves to this place, where elephants go and mourn eachother.

  • Ways to save the environment:

    1. Re use plasctic containers

    2. Plant trees

    3. Stop using hairspray and aerosol airfresheners

    4. Exterminate all lab made abominations

    5. Kill poachers

    6. Kill greedy ppl

    7. Buy electric cars

  • @JuanDVene

    ways to make people hate you

    1. preach on youtube

    2. duy an electric car

    3. be a bitch

  • @theraVen27 I wasnt preaching just listing ways people that like the environment might take interest in

  • Its quite extraordinary that we even think, oh do animals also feel? Well why wouldn't they . I don't necessarily believe that its only instinct that a creature an animal , elephant. Lion or gorilla will attack to defend their young etc. This must be a feeling of some kind? Yeah sure humans go oh sorry i thought you were going to attack me. in the animal kingdom they are going to attack! So yeah i believe they feel!

  • While humans are looting Ryan Dunn's belonging's to sell on e-bay...

  • why is this narrator so gay. not homosexual, just to fucking annoying the way he talks.

  • THEIR SOO SMART!!! 

  • Thumbs up if this makes u wanna cry!!

  • THIS IS LOVELY

  • Oh, come on! Elephants have 'deep emotions' and feel grief and sorrow? Please look up ANTROPOMORFISM ! Or seek education. What's next? Parakeets with suicidal tendencies or maniodepressive bunnies? Maybe if the little baby-elephant is beaten by it's daddy, it grows up into an oedipus-complex-stricken murderer who collects toenails? And if so - would mommy then feel like she's failed at parenthood?

  • @CoastalFlyFish um taking this seriously much? lol yeesh calm down! its youtube.

  • @CoastalFlyFish Some animals are more advanced than others.

    Elephants are obviously more advance than a parakeet or a rabbit. You can't deny that this behavior DOES suggest emotion and comprehension of death.

  • @kparrinello You're right that some species are more advanced that others. But please bear in mind no to misinterpret darwinism as having the human as the pinnacle of evolution. I can tell from your reply, that you have no concept of antropomorfism. The point of this being exactly that of humans interpreting OUR own know feelings and rationals onto/into other species - or natur as a whole. That's just as absurd as chanelling the elephants basic behaviours onto humans. Absurd isn't it..

  • @CoastalFlyFish in a fit of depression you'll off youself one day whilst watching youtube videos. Sorry.

  • @CoastalFlyFish Why does that concept bother you so much? My dog knows when I'm sad or excited and responds accordingly. Why would it be so far fetched to believe the same for elephants??

  • @CimaraNyx Ibidem. My comment, which you are adressing, already holds the answer to your very question. Please look up the term 'antropomorfism' to find the reason. Antropomorfism is an actual psycological concept - in contrast to 'elephants feeling sorrow'. The fact that my opinion of such isn't very popular at this video, doesn't make it any less correct. Science is not democratic.

  • @CoastalFlyFish ok, ok...I'll look it up. Sounds like another research project from one of my professors.  Are you a college professor, by the way??

  • @CoastalFlyFish ok, ok...I'll look it up. Sounds like another research project from one of my professors. Are you a college professor, by the way?? - OK, looked it up...in English it's anthro not antro - anthro means human and morph means shape - it's basically a Christian belief that any non-human creature cannot take up characteristics of humans -- it's religiously based, not scientific fact...what are you talking about??

  • @CimaraNyx

    1. Good. You apparently need further education.

    2. Yes. I am post-doc at a university. In cultural studies, if you are wondering.

    3. I know the term as I'm referring you to it.

    4. Pointing at misspelling is a defensive retorical strategy. Sorry, no bite.

    5. Look it up again. It's not religiously based - it's the fundamental psycholical mechanism IN religion, ie. to interpret known behaviour into unknow phenomena and behaviour, being it animals or natur or life.

    6. Leave it be.

  • @CoastalFlyFish 1. education is something that should be ongoing throughout our entire lives, 2, good for you, 3. not sure why that even came up, .4. i didn't point out a misspelling, i tried to clarify if this is even the same term we're discussing, don't know what you mean by "bite", 5, don't need to look it up again, after I go to several sights under .edu, .gov, or any other research site, I can make up my mind fairly easily since this isn't rocket science we're discussing, 6. done.

  • @CoastalFlyFish

    rhetorical; get mad bro, and learn to spell.

    btw, if you lack the skills to spell rhetorical as a post-doc at a university, I urge you to talk to the administrators about removing you from Cultural Studies and putting you into English.

    (oh.. and psychological, nature.. etc, it seems like a honey pot too, even if you're trying to get people to point out the mistakes so you can make a fuss about it, learn to spell bro)

  • @infinityms Very relevant to the topic of mourning elephants! Fucking troll, sorry, no bite - 'bro'.

  • @CoastalFlyFish For the record, many creatures behave in self-destructive ways when their living situation is far from ideal. As a bird rips out its feathers and refuses to eat because it's kept in a cage that's too small, one can say that bird is in psychological peril, and very unhappy. Many elephants also have long lasting issues after being torn away from their parents, or witnessing the rest of their herd's murder. Get informed before you try to tell people to "seek education". Ass.

  • @ladykillerrr Yes, I'm obviously the ass here. As I suspected, you too are absolutely ignorant of the functioning of anthropomorfism. What a disturbed view you have on the natural world. Are you by any chance american? You must be - since you are so content with your lack of knowledge and so very intolerant of others opinions. I may hold an unpopular position on the topic, but - as you clearly don't know - science is not democratic. Keep trollin' - Ms. DisneyCollegeGraduate.

  • @CoastalFlyFish

    You're getting heat because you're using a doctorate in an unrelated field to push your POV. Take a 2nd degree in biology or ethology or accept you're far from an authority. Anthropomorphism isn't useful in objective study, but equally it's not some kind of rhetorical neutron bomb that you can use to dismiss the possibility that an animal with a complex cerebral cortex and hippocampus is capable of convergent behaviours. Get over yourself.

  • @Lagrangeify nothing is useful in an 'objective' study aside from any information that leads you to the point you were hoping for.....

  • @TeeJaye317 No, the study of animal behaviour and psychology is the objective measure of a subjective phenomena.

  • @TeeJaye317 Apologies I got my wires crossed, I see what you were saying. Ignore previous comment :)

  • @CoastalFlyFish It's a damned shame that someone with a doctorate in cultural studies is too half-witted to seek out further subject material and study before they spit out some half-baked, pseudo-critical opinion.

  • @CoastalFlyFish I do believe animals can feel deep emotions. My aunt had two dogs, and when one died the other went into depression. So bad it stopped eating and would not move much. I also had two cats from the same litter, brothers, thick as thieves, and when one died, the other got upset and kept running into the road and laid there. After a few months he stopped doing that but he was not the same. Very sad and moped a lot, refused to interact with our 3rd cat (from a different litter).

  • la ciencia es la que corrompe e impone logica en nuestros sentimientos....

  • @sansalka la fe es la que corrompe e impone estupidez en nuestras mentes

  • wow stupids happy music with happy voice and u see an elephant mourning for his own species death, an example of being oblivious to animal emotions.....

  • stupid fucking hunters and people who hunt any mammal for game, they have no soul and deserve to burn in hell. Dolphins and elephants i bet feel the same emotion/pain we feel because of intelligence. *sigh*, how do i hate my own kind.

  • @horang106 Elephan meat. Nom nom nom.

  • @horang106 Not just you man.

  • @horang106 if you care about a creature (even another human being) that has no impact on your life you are pathetic and need something else to cry about when it dies.

  • @horang106

    Humans are just a bunch of naked apes gone out of control... I hope we can change ourselves with time.. Only recently have we started fighting for human rights and then animal rights. I believe in our species, but as for now most of us are savages.

  • @horang106 I've always said that if hunters are so tough why don't they kill the animal with their bare hands instead of using a gun. Pussies

  • Such beautiful creatures, how can one say they do not possess any intelligence after seeing this?

  • Of course elephants cry when they are sad, really it doesn't take a scientist to figure that out. I hate the fact that some people wait until scientists confirm things to realize the life of nature/wild. We're not the only ones with emotions.

  • BBC's narrator about grieving elephants was about infinitley better than this narrator. BBC's narrator sounded very touched, this one sounds like he's trying to sell you a Hyundai.

  • Here's a tip: Mute this douche and the simpy music, and open the Mozart Requiem in another window. Then you will understand more of what is happening here.

  • 25 people have no soul

  • some may argue that its a behavior of being aware of danger that might be within the vicinity. It is like a group of people stumbling upon a human corpse and checking who might have done such a thing... then looking out for possible dangers that might occur... since there is a clue that someone or something killed one of their own kind within the area.----so yeh people can call it mourning... and some can certainly can call it.... an investigation of the diseased.

  • @rexviper8 Why then, would they touch the bones with their BACK FEET? I believe it is a little deeper than what you said!

  • When humans stop eating animals, lions will have more lambs to eat, I dobut a lion shall lie with a lamb, specially a lamb that taste good...no offense....

  • Fuck you, Bob Parsons!

  • OF COURSE THEY CAN CRY!!! they are living beings!!!

  • Elephants are also known to bury corpses with dirt and leaves, even if the dead elephant is not related to them.Sometimes, they even treat humans that way:

    An African woman once fell asleep under a tree and woke up with elephants touching her body. She was startled and didn't move so they buried her under branches.

    To me, this is an indication that elephants could have some kind of culture. Just like with humans, a great part of their behaviour is taught rather than inherited instinctively.

  • I hate people too, but not for the reasons that others have posted on here. I hate people because it has become mainstream to hate ourselves. When did it become dispicable to advance ourselves and our interests? We have to learn to take care of our planet and not be as destructive but for the sake of everything holy take some pride in being human!!! For whatever reason we as humans have been given a wonderful gift; an advanced brain. Pull that thing its in out of your ass and be thankful for it!

  • All creatures are amazing and we find more out about them every day. We know they mourn, we know they get jealous, we know they kill for territory and murder for sport (chimps raiding other chimps territories, or orcas playing with a corpse of a seal). I would even venture to say that if they had the mental capacity they would even enslave and oppress. They are no better than we are, we just have to tools to create good/evil. How many diseases has an elephant cured?

  • @MDW85704 When humans stop abusing and eating animals, there will be heaven on earth and the lion shall lie with the lamb. The Bible tells me so. Animals reflect back to people the errors of their ways.

  • @etbella3

    The Bible does NOT say to not eat animals. While it does describe how to not mistreat animals, it does not say man's immorality is played out with animals. If anything, the Bible expressly separates man from the animal kingdom, not the opposite that you mischaracterize.

    It would be better to not distort the Bible in hopes of promoting it.

  • "Sportsmen" like Buck McNeely and Jeff Rann (of Rann Safaris) have a lot of mourning on their hands, but they'd rather spin it as "feeding the natives" or "reducing elephant overpopulation" (as if people aren't far more overpopulated).

    Elephant snuff videos should not be allowed on YouTube.

  • Up yours, humankind!

  • Cool video. However, I find it hard to believe that everything in this video PROVES their point. What looks to be grieving could be something else entirely. They are elephants, we just humanize them by going ahead and concluding their actions as grieving because that is what we do. From my online research, I dont think enough study has been done to make that assumption. They pick up bones and set them down. and we automatically consider that mourning.

  • @ItisRoss but elephants have been known to cry and be reclusive for months at a time after the death of a loved one

  • @miss88lauren I hope they can't feel that deep of emotional pain. For the sake of them and how they are treated.

  • Comment removed

  • @ItisRoss What do you suggest they're doing then? Playing croquet?

  • @NextMrsBradPitt I don't know. I can't exactly ask one.I'm not ruling the mourning thing out, just saying that this video doesn't really prove anything to me.

  • @ItisRoss brick wall.

  • @stellar876 brick wall?

  • @ItisRoss exactly

  • So thats why they say an elephant never forgets...

    What a sad, yet poignant origin of such a common phrase.

  • We are all animals, we mourn for our lost loved ones, why is it so impossible to think that other animals also mourn? So they don't do the whole casket, flowers and speech ritual thing. Finding their next meal probably ranks higher on their priority list, that doesn't mean that they don't miss their loved ones.

  • @verticalsmurf I think they were trying to get a soccer game going with the skull?

  • I wonder if mammonths and mastadons did the same thing

  • @cscate yes they have.... in a way that they even harness the science behind cryogenics... and preserved their dead for us to see millions after their extinction! :D

  • @cscate Maybe moeritheres as well

  • to me this is one of the most amazing pieces of footage i have ever seen.

    this is a creature that resembles human beings i think that is important.

  • They really are majestic animals. How can one not love and respect them. Freakin human race and their rampant breeding resulting in overpopulation and destruction of everything beautiful and worthwhile. There should be no more than 1/10th of the current population on this planet. But people have absolutely no sense of responsibilty, having 4,5,6 or 8 kids. Nobody thinks sh*t through.

  • @durgaaa

    Indeed, my friend. Indeed.

  • FREAKING F5 SUX NOW!!!

  • I dun cry when I'm sad :S

  • I saw one pouring a little liquid with its trunk.

  • aww poor elephants :(

  • All creatures are amazing and we find more out about them every day. We know they mourn, we know they get jealous, we know they kill for territory and murder for sport (chimps raiding other chimps territories, or orcas playing with a corpse of a seal). I would even venture to say that if they had the mental capacity they would even enslave and oppress. They are no better than we are, we just have to tools to create good/evil. How many diseases has an elephant cured?

  • @MDW85704

    Only interesting comment I've read for quite some time.

  • Elephants coming upon the bones of a relative and then grieving just proves that animals are sentient beings in which God has entrusted us humans to protect. It is sad to say, but their are many ways in which humans have violated the trust given to us by God.

  • @HumaneHuman4 yes, they are intelligent and emotional beings but god has nothing to do with that. It's just part of nature.

  • @HumaneHuman4

    Seems to me God didn't do much thinking when God created humans.If anything they seem to be a huge mistake.Since a devine being, all wise, all reasonable and all powerful, can't make mistakes, then either humans are a mistake, and if intentional then it's God's own fault and we cannot be blamed for it, or more likely God does not exist

    I guess God stood silently by when all the buffalos were hunted to extinction by 19'th century settlers

    God is an illusion.Religion is for sheep

  • @McLarenMercedes --correction , ...religion is for Sheeple. And those sheeple should do as the Lemmings do ! Maybe we would have a chance with 6 billion less humans around.

  • @McLarenMercedes the fuck does that have to do with elephants in mourning?

    ffs keep this bullshit religion plague, excuse me, argument

    of the comments page

    thanks, a fellow youtuber who is tired of reading this horseshit

  • @tgd02

    Don't be so brittle. When normal, sensitive, thoughtful people look upon something like this, it tends to open up a larger world view and grand-scale curiosity. We're witnessing what appears to be a reverence of the dead by a the living in something other than humans. If that doesn't evoke a deep response in you, you have my sympathy. But don't blame those of us who do for tying it into a greater spiritual and religious reaction.

    If you can't tolerate it, perhaps YouTube isn't for you.

  • @TheJediCharles no man, its always the same written vitriol in regards to religion

    im just tired of reading it

    and i like to read the comments on here, i really do

    most of the time the people writing them are really informative and helpful in understanding what i am watching

    but the religious argument...it goes in circles and ends in name calling

    guess im just tired of that same old bullshit

  • @tgd02

    You can't "despiritualize" humanity, and the fact that you've tried to any extent only reveals the limits of your character and nothing about the problems of religion.

    You will read and hear religious comments the rest of your days, as you will have to hear many ideas and values you don't hold to. If you can't take it without sounding like you did in what I responded to, the problem is you.

    You seem to not realize that rants of religious intolerance like yours is the other "bullshit".

  • @TheJediCharles lol why are you reading so much into my comments dude?

    im not trying to "despiritualize" no one, shit dude and i guess now youtube comments wholly reveal ones "character" sure. w/e freud

    and wtf man im not saying its intolerable im just saying it always ends up in the same drain, back and forth arguments, neither side gets any sort of enlightenment because its duh, the internet and insults ensue, like always

  • @tgd02

    You claim you're not religiously intolerant? I'll quote you, "keep this bullshit religion plague, excuse me, argument *off* the comments page".

    The attempt to silence descent is intolerance. I'll be the first to admit my intolerance, singular that it is, of which I'm intolerant of intolerance. I don't expect people to agree with other's beliefs, just not attempt to squelch them out of the public square like you're doing, and now coyly claiming not to since you've been had.

  • @TheJediCharles and continue to do so because atheist and the religious alike will continue to ramble on and on with no point ever getting across to either side

  • @TheJediCharles and uh, youre defending the religious arguments in a elephant video yet calling my complaining about it, bullshit? hypocrite argument much?

  • @tgd02

    Why is the religiously intolerant are not interested in religious standards until they think they can throw them back in a religious person's face?

    Either you value religious standards or you don't. To hold them just long enough to hope to hurt someone with them reveals your hollow center.

    Apart from that, quoting someone else isn't the same as saying something. A kid can figure that much out.

  • @TheJediCharles o christ on a stick! i have a hollow center because im tired of reading the same things regarding religion over and over!!lordy lordy i sure hope i see the light of day with the help of youtube comments.

    get over yourself

  • @tgd02

    No, not because you're tired of reading the same things regarding religion, but because of your disrespectful methods and attempts to silence it.

    You are in no position to tell anyone to get over themselves whatsoever.

    Not everyone has your world view, and when seeing a video like this some will evoke religious commentary.

    Accept it.

  • @TheJediCharles my disrespectful methods are so because of the environment im in, aka, the internet

    and just like how religious diatribe ends, so will this discussion

    i wont change my mind or manner in regards to religious commentary

    and you will keep your opinion that my commentary is negative, disrespectful etc

    and YOU are the one allowing me to tell you to get over yourself with your comments about me being hollow and all that other personality bullshit simply because of a rant, good day sir

  • @tgd02

    You're disrespectful because of where you are? Man, talk about the blame game.

    You are responsible for your own actions and words, my friend.

    You have a strange word to describe my actions, as "allowing you to tell me" to get over myself. Again, YOU are responsible for YOU.

    Of course you're going to keep up the wholesale religious intolerance. A wise person said, "character is habitual action." But, comments on your character is your hot button. Apparently, you're not interested in it.

  • @McLarenMercedes interesting statement... especially seeing as how sheep are not capable of having religion. See that is the separation--what makes humanity special and capable of the things we are capable of.

  • Free the world, rid off money currency!

  • Comment removed

  • Good god!!!! I can't watch a beautiful video loke this without having to read assinine comments in which people insult each other with vulgarity and disrespect. It's getting ridiculous. I'm sure someone will insult me as well for saying so. Sickening.

  • @getjaymi78 --- congrats! You have discovered the democracy of YouTube comment ability. It is the indicator of the mentality of the average earth dwelling human who can use a keyboard!

    A sad state of technological advancement, isn't it ?

  • i wish people wouldnt make jokes

  • I think at the end there you can see the elephant throwing dust saying From Earth to Earth Ashes to ashes dust to dust. Amen.

  • maybe they were picking up the bones to see if there was any meat left on them

  • @region1111 If you are suggesting that they were looking for meat to eat then you are a moron.

    Elephants = vegetarians

  • @ReaperSound shaddup fag, maybe they were evolved, mutant meat eating elephants ;-D

  • @region1111 I'm sorry but if you comment after this I'm not going to answer. It's stupid to even say something like that and your response must show your intellect either from the US I would guess in NY and Brooklyn by your attitude. Sad how you can talk like this to a complete stranger and smile afterward. If It is not so rude I would say more in the line that your words are pathetic as you are.

  • Elephants are really special animals.

  • elephants are conscious and can recognize themselves in a mirror. elephants probably know they are going to die

  • This female elephant was in heat at a zoo in Cleveland. Well this little guy mouse climbs up a ladder behind her and just starts sweet talking the hell out of her. The elephant is so in heat, and so ready for anything, she turns around and backs right up to him. This little mouse just starts screwing the hell outta of her, going to town, screwin' harder than he ever has in his life, screaming at the top of his lungs, "Take it all baby, yeah, TAKE IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  • Are African eles racist against Indian eles?

  • @TehSmellulare thats a neck

  • Comment removed

  • all animals are able to have certian emotions we do even if they don't show it in their faces.they can be even be stronger humans :]

  • Dear Brothers & Sisters, Glory to God, and greetings to you. I once had the disappointment of attending a vaunted science lecture by an over rated primate researcher who tried to claim that any morality expressed in nature or man-kind was merely a result of evolutionary processes. Yet when asked about this type of behavior in elephants/wolves/etc. - that is not beneficial (or might actually be detrimental) to species reproductive fitness & natural selection, he could not

  • @lightmessenger1 Eh, Elephants and Wolves have group behaviour much as we do, looking after one another means the group is better off. Same with us, really. However, any species is only going to intrinsically have the morality which helps it. What's equally or maybe more important is what you learn. And to actually go beyond your gut instict or your childhood teachings and do what's right even when it hurts you-thats something more, and too few members of ANY species do it.

  • A more somber background music would have been more fitting, but i guess that's hard to do in a 60 second clip.

  • it's interesting behavior but it doesn't prove anything about whether or not elephants mourn, or experience anything resembling human emotions. nothing about their actions "proves" the "point" that they have "some understanding about death". the narrator also says that elephants do this when they come across ANY elephant bones. it would be a much more convincing argument if their behavior was different when encountering bones of animals with which they were previously unconnected.

  • @lrpelkey You're missing an immportant point. They only react like this with ELEPHANT bones.

    How would they know that those bleached bones were once living creatures, let alone recognise them as their own kind ?

    This appears to show a level of intelligence & emotion rarely seen outside the primate world.

    Until someone find a way of reading minds we will never 'know' how, or even if, other animals think & feel.

    I still think this is interesting & deserves more investigation.

  • Boycott Ringling Brothers they beat elephants

  • @fight4animals

    Any place that keeps elephants as entertainment abuses them. It's a horrible life for them which is exactly why it should be illegal to allow selfish people like that too continue to mistreat them. If you have ever looked into the eyes of an elephant/lion/tiger at a circus it is one of the saddest things. You can see the hurt and suffering they go through on a daily basis.

    That is exactly why I protest circuses that use live animals as entertainment.

  • They are so much like people...

  • if people could communicate with animals they might actually care more about their lives

  • I don't like the narrator.

  • That is so sad. And people say that animals have no feelings... HA! Proved them wrong!!!

  • Boycott the Ringling Brothers Circus. They abuse elephants, as well as most of the animals in their circus.

  • Humans are the most selfish and pompous of all living creatures. We have much to learn from other dwellers with whom we share this planet earth.

    And y r we surprised to learn that other creatures too have emotions???

  • Wow....

    Oh...poor elephants....

  • look!animals do have feelings

  • @Syazwanie96 well duh
