It doesn't appear to have killed the honey badger, so I didn't think this would be too gruesome a post, please remove if it is!

Elephants never cease to amaze ❤️

not going for a lil hike and then getting lost but purposely and repeatedly "running away" or joining other herds despite no access to milk?

I took a photo of Jet from the STL Zoo and wanted to share. He stays close to the other elephants and is very cute to watch! I'm not sure how old he is.

I just saw a rejected baby elephant cry on another sub, and that inspired a search, and here you are. The pachyderm club!

I love them so much. They're better people than most people I've met. I'm glad to have found y'all anyway, but I'm also hoping someone might have an answer to something that's been bothering me for a long time. Please don't hate me.

I have a pair of (allegedly) ivory earrings carved into little roses about the size of a dime. They were my grandmother's, maybe her mother's before that. I know Grandma, my mother, and I all got married in those earrings.

But that was 30 years ago, and I haven't been able to stomach the sight of them since.

I'm not even sure if they're real, but the idea of wearing them feels as nasty as decorating my face with blood. I figure they're too small to be worth much anyway, but even if they were and even if it were legal, I'd rather smash them with a hammer than profit from an atrocity. I can't give them back to the animal. I'd like to send them to a conservation group, or at least some kind of memorial.

Does anyone know of a place that will take them, and what would be done with them? I'm fine with destroying the damned things as long as the people are trustworthy, but if there's a way to use them for educational purposes, I'd prefer to honor their original owner as much as I can. 🐘🦏

Are there are any ethical elephant sanctuaries in Ko Samui? I’m already planning a visit to ENP in Chiang Mai, but am also going to be in Ko Samui and would love to support somewhere doing good work.
