Elephants

Quite some time ago I was a member of the Shrine.  It is a wonderful organization and I applaud the work the Shrine does...But...I decided that I could not be a member, for many reasons. They main reason was because they used elephants and there was a lot of abuse in the way the elephants were treated.
I took a demit from the Shrine and send my dues to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.  Providing home, herd, rest, refuge, 
and individualized care for life.
Then I read a book about The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and his wife and decided that I could foster an elephant. My elephant is ARABA, and this is the time when I pay my dues and I LOVE knowing that I can help in one little way to help with these wonderful animals.



Dear Jay Cole Simser,

Most Sincerely,

These geneticists have uncovered Africa's three largest ivory cartels

Researchers in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park discovered that African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) steer clear of angry honeybees.



Researchers hoped to use an aerial survey to count elephants in Botswana. Instead, the survey discovered one of the largest elephant slaughters to date.


The newly tested genes may be an important key to the gentle giants’ surprisingly low rates of cancer.
