I've clipped a few articles on elephants. They're quite intelligent; and have actually been evolving emotionally into an extreme dislike of humans, based on the way they are treated. An elephant watching the murder or senseless killing of one in its herd is said to carry that memory and build up an emotional hatred or new instinct to not trust humans.

The program showed elephants' behavior during and after experiencing (watching) a killing. They go through depression, as many animals (birds, etc) and humans do. But they build up an immunity and have a tendency to "turn" on a moments notice.

Some cultures still use elephants as part of working the fields; clearing out trees, etc. But...

Some cultures still use elephants as part of working the fields; clearing out trees, etc. But the mistreatment that goes along with that, and the ivory poachers senseless killings is breeding a new instinct in the wonderous creatures, that one can hardly blame them for.

Speaking of horses.... I'm almost afraid that they are next. According to a recent investigative televised report by a national tv station, horses are being shot and packaged for (human) dinner tables in France.

There have been a number of people that have been trying to stop this but I don't know where it stands, especially now that this type of killing has been aired on national television.

The company that was the main focus is based in Texas. They purchase horses at auctions and from other breeders/owners that think they are selling to establishments such as retirement ranches, etc. One couple found out where some of their retired race horses were REALLY going and I would suspect t...

They purchase horses at auctions and from other breeders/owners that think they are selling to establishments such as retirement ranches, etc. One couple found out where some of their retired race horses were REALLY going and I would suspect they are the ones that encouraged the investigation. There was also another gentleman that has been trying to stop this.

This Texas "slaughterhouse" has a web site and I've visited it. They promote the fact that they specialize in "food" for your lions, tigers and bears (ie: zoos and other animal's food); AND promote that it is prepared under regulated (FDA) conditions. I could not find much that said they export it for human consumption as a delicacy. I might assume they changed their website knowing that they would be targeted in this televised investigation / research report.
