    You read about all the hatred, barbarism and conflict going on all over the world, and then you find these gentle, peaceful creatures and feel ashamed to be human.

      I am ashamed too. There was a time when we believed in our superiority, but now, clearly, we must learn from the other animals in the planet.

      I can sure relate to your feelings. ~ HERD is a small corner on the World that brings peace, love, joy, happiness,empathy, safety and compassion. You can go from watching HERD to watching world news and you can go from feeling peace to despair. ~ A massive contrast~

      Humans are rescuing them, feeding and loving them, and actively trying to assure their perpetuation. Humans, including you, are watching these videos and sympathizing and supporting them. Don't sell us too short, though I understand the sentiment.

      Yes - but animals don’t have a “soul” & evil requires one. They live in the moment - no worries about future or past.

    Phabeni is fast learning how to use that little trunk.
    I laugh and cry in almost every video. We are blessed to be able to watch the mutual love and respect between humans and elephants. I live in South Africa, watched many documentaries on elephants, but have never had the privilege to see the interactions between elephants in the way you can share in this orphanage. Thank you so very much for showing these wonderful gentle giants with the world.

    • @scrubjay93
      @scrubjay93 10 місяців тому +1

      It seems very special to watch the introductions with the orphans because of the unique situation of having a herd of elephants habituated to humans. If they were wild elephants, they would not act normally with humans close by and it would be very risky to expose wild elephants to a tiny orphan no matter how social they are. It's just fascinating to watch.

    We all thank the carers. But, I think sometimes that we may underestimate just how important a role they play in the well-being of the ellies. There is always danger lurking, even near the homestead. The carers stay with them all day, and make sure they are safe. And in return, the ellies protect them also. This is just an amazing partnership in so many ways. All of us around the world have been given a gift to witness such beauty and devotion. I truly hope the word spreads about The Herd. People need to understand and appreciate how important they are to our world.

It would have been the same scenario with Phabeni as well. With Spotty here, he always has company. Wonderful arrangement. Thank you all for taking care of all the details to keep our beloved animals happy physically and emotionally.

    He’s a very smart little elephant. And very good using his trunk to get the grass to eat. ❤
