Elephants

Have just signed the petition for the elephants - surely somebody or something can stop this ghastly man and his gruesome family!

FGS surely not?! The man's a maniac!

Didn't he also repeal the legislation that made it illegal to kill bears when they are hibernating I do need to check that out, though....

President Trump is completely grim along with his odious sons, so why doesn't this latest edict coming from him surprise me?!!

Has anyone been watching that little programme early evening about a spy camera.

I have come to the conclusion that we have no real idea of at what emotional level animals operate. We are guilty of heinous crimes towards animals.

Meant to add, me neither. It's sick.

I have never understood what pleasure anyone gets from killing an animal for "sport"

The royals seem to think it's okay .

I have never understood what pleasure anyone gets from killing an animal for "sport". I live in a rural area (although I am not a farmer) and am not sentimental about animals, I eat meat, I am in favour of controlling numbers of those animals considered as "pests". However, to kill simply for the "enjoyment" of seeing an animal fall is beyond my comprehension.

DJ The southern subspecies of white rhino is doing OK, it is the northern subspecies that is already extinct in the wild and now there are not even any in captivity to try to breed them for re-introduction. rhinos.org/species/white-rhino/

Couldn’t have put it better myself, whitewave. Elephants are amazing creatures - can’t imagine a world without them, but it is on the cards if things go on the way they are.

It is beyond my ability to understand someone who looks at an animal, knowing its understanding of the world in which it lives, knowing its empathy with others of its species, knowing its magnificents and pointing a gun at it and taking away its life, not even being sure that you will not inflict suffering as it dies.
