Elephants are my favorite animals. They express much more love, empathy, respect for ancestors, care for their own kind, than "humans" do. Elephants are very spiritual creatures, more human than the "humans". Elephants are vegetarians, they do not hurt or kill other animals to feed themselves.
In my view, elephants are ones of the most perfect creatures. Creatures created by God (in my view of understanding the God). I cannot say that for many of the other creatures living on the Earth, including for most of the people.
I always watch this video with tears in my eyes.

Here I also want to mention one of my bestest friends, Karl, who I lost 3 months ago, and he is the reason how I found this forum. Our connection with the elephants can be understood only by him and me. My friend, I am sure you are on a better place now, surrounded with many elephants and your female dog you wanted to have. I know you can see and read this. I miss you a lot! Please forgive me I couldn't help you!
p.s. I apologize if I offended anyone.
