Just how aware are these elephants? Some scientists think they may cry when sad, just like you and me.

    I myself do not hunt, but many hunters actually care about and want the populations of many animals to remain high. Poachers and smugglers however do not.

    In addition; Do not fool yourself. Everyone here harms animals just by living in a house; houses take up a huge amount of land space and limit an animal's food source. Buying meat from the grocery can be considered more cruel than even hunting for food yourself.

    i toterly agree. i was saying to a freind of mine about how so many people live in house's, thats fine.

    but when we get sqrirrals or a fox, or rats and other animals that invade our house ,people say there "pests" it really pisses me off.

    if we really think about it, when new houses are built over a land the animals that lived there dident have a choise, where are they ment to go?.

    and rats, im sorry but people dump so much waist from the supermarket onto the street, who is the real pest here!

    Animals aren't gifts to humans... We are a disgrace to all life around us... Humans need to start giving a damn about our footprint on Earth because soon, there will be no Earth to inhabit (partly because of the eventual expansion of the sun)

    I remember reading a story once about a gentleman in Africa who worked extensively with elephants and allowed a herd to stay on his property. When he passed away a couple of years ago, the herd came by to pay their respects. I think animals are more complex than people give them credit for.

    he was illustrating a point, by saying that no matter what you do your going to hurt animal life.

    This is elephant necrophilia, not mourning. They vandalized those remains.

    Behavior like this isn't unique to elephants. Corvids like Crows, many apes, a number of Cetaceans, and even some species of lizard are known to mourn. In crows it's especialy advanced and similar to our own funerals, with induviduals bringing sticks and plants to place around the dead induvidual. In some cases flocks of crows will even put on ritualistic performaces where a flock will fly around in a cyclone or tornado-like shape over the dead induvidual for a number of minutes.
