Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Elephants are and will always be beautiful giants , some say they are monsters because of how they snap and sometimes kill people. But that wouldnt happnen if they wernt handled by us humans and if they must be handled by us we should hangle them correctly . One of my dreams before i die is to go to africa and see elephants and try and make a change in how they are treated, etc. Any whoozers! elephants just like any other living thing on this earth should be treated the way we want to be treated . If we dont want to be beated and killed by animals why should we be allowed to beat and kill them ?! <33 livin' free forever ,thats how it should be !! <33

I know this is late, but I love that they stand there ground and I love these beautiful them because with every wrinkle that they have shows the years and age of being outside and enjoying life hopefully where ever they are, no matter if they can use sunscreen lotion or not, there skin will always be the same in this “glamour” world, they don’t care whats in fashion, just that when they travel they always make sure there “trunk” is always packed and ready to go..even making sure the pedicure is always perfect..if I had a trunk I would hug everyone I saw. Plus I am a huge Alabama fan and every stuffed animal is an Elephant!!

Elephants are amazing creatures. Even though they have the ability to be aggressive because of their giant size, strength and tusks, they are still gentle and peaceful creatures. I love how they take care of their young so carefully. They always stick together and that’s just how they survive. They should be respected and get to live in the wild where they belong instead of being mistreated at circuses for humans’ enjoyment. It’s truly sad that people kill them for their tusks, skin, and meat and I am completely against it. I also love how they are adored by many cultures.

Elephants are really smart and very protective of their young. They deserve to be kept out in the wild, not in circuses or zoos. They are very beautiful and majestic and very social- they are constantly touching and caressing one another and other objects. If it was humane to have an elephant as a pet, I would have one. But unfortunately, since elephants were NOT made to be domesticated like dogs or cats, they will stay out in the wild where I can enjoy photographs and videos of those wild creatures c:

I think I gained a love for elephants from the movie Water for Elephants…crazy huh? it gave me a whole different outlook on how I thought of them. Elephants are beautiful and they are very talented….but they shouldn’t be used for human’s entertainment. I did some research no animals were actually hurt in the making of the movie which made me extremely happy. Elephants are so smart, it amazes me the capability they have to do so much more than people would ever think.

Elephants are giant creatures who do anything to protect their young, they’re gentle but know when to step up their game to protect. They mourn for the lost and celebrate having families. They get a lot less credit than they deserve. Elephants belong no where near zoos or circuses, nor do any other animal for that matter.

Elephants have been a part of me since I was four years old. I first met one at a circus (I now shudder at the thought of such beautiful animals living in that way) but the best thing that came out of that was that I found true love. I love elephants because they are beautiful, majestic, adorable, and just so fascinating. I could spend my whole life in a forest, just being one with a herd of them, and be completely content.

elephants really show how diverse animal species can get. the only animal i know that looks like an elephant is a mammoth! 1 animal! its sad how these elegant,friendly, and caring animals are misinterpreted as circus stars, the ugly truth is that they are harshly treated and trained . people sometimes think that they have fun being trained and doing tricks. it couldn’t be more inaccurate! elephants want to roam free with their families, worry free and master-less.

Elephants are the one among wise animals.
The interesting thing is, if you bring a mirror infront of elephant. Elephant is the only creature that will identify that it is itself.
Elephant is treated as God in my country “India”.
Its tusk are the cutest, and the way it drinks water, and sprays and eats ..
Something adorable.

Elephants have always amazed me by how smart, adorable, and caring. Elephants have an amazing memory. I think elephants are one of the cutest large species in the world. Elephant mothers care about their young, just like humans. The biggest reason I love elephants is because these species represent how animals are so alike to humans and need to be treated like us too: humanely.

Elephants are some of the wisest species on this planet. Elephants live in a strong family unit. Their mothers are protective over their young as our mothers are and will shield their young if they feel danger is near They are social animals that meet daily with other elephants to play in mud/water holes together. They cry and mourn when a member of their family dies and never forget to mourn for that member yearly as we do. Also they NEVER FORGET they will remember you which shows extreme loyalty. I know I dont forget when Im shown remberance and loyalty as they display and they should be shown the loyalty and respect as well.

What I love about elephants is that they are large gentle loving creatures with a big thing for family. Elephants always take care of every other one in the herd and have no natural enemies. That is, except humans.
Extremely intelligent and great memory, they suffer the pain , whether being killed for ivory or tortured in a circus, and always remember it.
I love these creatures because they are brave to go through such tragedies, and that’s why they should be freed!!!! Huzzah!!!

This poem by Wayne Hepburn sums it all up for me:
The Elephant Poem – by Wayne Hepburn
Elephants are lovely guys,
They’re good and true and tell no lies.
They don’t take more than they can eat,
And always watch where they put their feet.
They don’t play with electric wires;
I never have heard of them starting fires.
They live healthily, they don’t smoke
An Elephant is a kindly bloke.
Elephants take care of their young,
And rarely speak with angry tongue.
When in school, they do not cheat,
They walk in lines which are quite neat.
They don’t beat up on smaller folks,
Don’t care if they’re the butt of jokes.
They don’t fret, what wear today,
Look simply splendid all in gray.
Super strong yet very nice,
They’re really not afraid of mice.
I’ve tried and tried but I just can’t
Find anything better than the Elephant.

I love elephants because they are a wonderful example of vegetarianism. Not only are they the largest land mammal…they are also herbivores! They are an inspiration to our cause because they show that if animal as massive as an elephant can thrive on plants, then we definitely can too!

I love the fact that the elephants closest living relative is the cute little rock hyrax.

I remember I first fell in love with elephants after watching Disney’s Dumbo (still one of my favorite movies of all time) and ever since they’ve always been one of my favorite animals. Sadly, I’ve never had the chance to interact with an elephant directly, but I’m really looking forward to it. Like I said I’ve always been fascinated by elephants on tv whether it was Tantor from Tarzan or Dumbo, elephants will always have a special place in my heart.

Elephants are such beautiful and majestic creatures. I love how they show concern for other elephants and how social they are with each other.

why does anyone love elephants? they’re beautiful creatures and should forever be free. elephants shouldn’t be entertaining people and getting tortured. they should be roaming the wild being natural wild animals. :] i hope i win!

Elephants are the most amazing creatures. Enormous yet gentle. So intelligent and and loving. I adore them more than anything. I would love to see them free from being hunted in the wild and free from the horrors of captivity
