@JRRnotTolkien when I was young,in the 70s, overpopulation and trying to limit population growth were major talking points. Over the years, that's changed and there has been a shift in taking away reproductive rights, choices from women, the closing and loss of funding for Planned parenthood clinics. Often the only place women can recieve affordable services & information.

When the elephants were being loaded into the trucks they were probably expecting some new hellish situation - they had no idea that that part of their lives is now history.

I had that thought too. They would have had no idea what was waiting for them at the end of their journey, :( We'll never know just how relieved and happy they were to realise the place they were going to was this,

[@livlovely2707]

I think that they could feel the good vibes; animals know much more than we give them credit for. Of course they didn't know just how glorious it would be, but they knew they were being treated with kindness.

[@Automedon2]

@@robertocampano2089 We want to think that animals have that telepathy but even an abused dog takes a long time before it trusts humans again. These elephants have probably been sold to different owners throughout their lives and each new owner asserts their dominance in horrible ways as soon as they take possession. They had no way of knowing who their new 'owner' would be. Most have probably been resigned to their fate. Search the story of Raju, the elephant who was sold over 20 times to successively cruel men. If you have the stomach for it, this is what the babies go through to enforce dominance kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYfGnKmflMyKjNE

[@KatherineUribe-1]

The images of the elephants playing and relaxing in the water made me cry. I could actually see the joy in the movements of the elephants, no longer made to do labor, able to move about freely. The only job for an elephant is to be an elephant and make baby elephants. That's it. No carrying, lifting, begging in the streets, taking humans for a ride on it's back. Simply being. I hope every day brings these elephants joy!💕 My deepest gratitude to every person who does this important work, for their every effort in bringing these elephants to freedom. Bless you.
