Reposted from @elephant_stories_with_fiona - Their sheer beauty, they are magnificent, their eyes like amber stones, their colouring, like giant chameleons blending with mother nature’s earth. Their family and their babies are their world, their fierce protectiveness, their family bond. They trumpet, they rumble, they squeak, they speak elephant. They are evolved, they are primal. They are sentient, they feel. Their vulnerability and their sadness as tourists climb on their backs, as hunters take aim and a bullet follows as poachers cut deep to take their ivory. Death is their sentence. Elephants, quite simply, leave them alone. Let their beauty shine, let them be in peace. You don’t need ivory and you don’t need a selfie, they are not fashion - because you think it’s cool. Fill your heart with love and joy and learn more about earth’s biggest land mammal. Join #clubelephant and unite to help the elephant cause and to help show others to love and appreciate these amazing animals. Be part of the change, don’t be part of the cruelty. Elephants need your voice.
