All of my life I
have adored
Elephants. Since I
was a little girl
and I used to gaze
up at a picture my
Mum had of a
majestic bull
elephant charging.
He was magnificent,
raising his heavy
trunk into the air
and the dust flying
all around him as
his huge body
propelled him over
the plains.
Close your eyes and dream what I saw, smell the
dusty air and the
heavy scent of the
elephant, taste the
energy on your
tongue and feel the
mighty vibrations in
your body as he
charges toward you.
Feel the massive
power of this
ancient and royal
being.
I feel it, because it is part of the universal
energy of all
things. We all are
part of it, every
breath we take,
every tear we cry
and every word we
give voice to, is
just as powerful as
that charging bull
elephant so far away
in
Africa.
We are so lucky to have these creatures to
wonder at, to look
up to.
An elephant has emotions and is capable of
grieving and of
great happiness. An
elephant can get
angry and passionate
just like you and I.
And yet, even today the very existence of these
animals is
threatened beyond
all reasoning. There
are still people who
place a monetary
value on it's tusks,
still people who use
them as
entertainment and
beat and abuse them.
There are still
elephants locked
away in zoo's with
no freedom, attached
to an ankle chain so
it cannot roam too
near to us; the
humans who's
curiosity so often
does not extend to
wondering how this
makes a creature
like this feel. We
still watch them
suffer, we still
turn a blind eye to
their pain. Nothing
we can do? Oh yes so
much!
There are many international organisations
desperately trying
to save the
elephants in
India and Africa and
in zoos, circuses
and captivity all
over this planet.
There are petitions, adoptions, donations and
programmes to re
introduce them back
into their natural
habitat or for those
where this is not
possible, to give
them enough space to
wander and roam and
to be happy.
Imagine for a moment that you are shut in a
cupboard, chained to
the door. You can
only come out when
your ‘owner’ allows
you to, only feed
when it is given to
you. You cannot run,
you cannot hide.
Imagine that you are
being prodded with a
bull hook to do what
you are told or
electrocuted with a
pole and then
paraded in front of
a load of humans and
made to do tricks
that you really
should not do
because you could
become seriously
injured.
Imagine that you get so angry that you use all
of your fantastic
power to escape, you
cause chaos and
fear, but nothing
like the fear you
are suffering. You
thrash out at
anything, and you
trample all beneath
your feet. You kill
your
keeper………………..and
then……….they kill
you.
Maybe you are
thinking, 'No, this
doesn't happen
anymore.... does it?
Yes it does.
On this website I
will be adding every
spark of information
| can find about the
elephants. My
intention as you may
have gathered from
the last few
paragraphs is to
make you FEEL, and
UNDERSTAND, to OPEN
YOUR EYES to what is
really happening.
I sincerely hope and
pray that you will
enjoy what you find
here, that you laugh
and you cry and you
are surprised and
enlightened,
horrified and
relieved.
I will not hide the
truth no matter how
horrific.
It is time.........
