Our gentle friends are so much more intelligent than most give them credit for. They feel empathy, pain, and even mourn the dead. #asianelephant #godsinshackles #saveelephants

Calves follow their mothers' responses to learn who are their relatives and friends, and who represent potential threats. When calves are separated from their mothers and herds, they are being denied learning who they are and how to survive. https://t.co/LKXRcWpVF6

Elephants are amazing, gentle giants. See what makes them extraordinary! https://t.co/9EifFocjF9

Elephants have some of the most gentle and loving eyes. To abuse them, especially to the point where they're robbed of their vision forever, is atrocious. #animalrights #animalwelfare #godsinshackles

[Gods in Shackles @GodsInShackles]

We must always stand up against torture and abuse of all forms, especially when under the guise of culture and religion. #animalrights #animalwelfare #godsinshackles

Thank you to our friend, Sangduen Chailert, Founder of @Saveelephant, for her kind words and tireless dedication to our gentle friends. #asianelephant #godsinshackles #animalrights

When the needs of animals are overlooked and deemed lower than those of ours, we lose our compassion. #animalrights #animalwelfare

[Gods in Shackles @GodsInShackles]

The laws and legislation that are there to protect our elephant friends should always be upheld and enforced, not turned a blind eye towards to where abuse, torture, and injustices occur. #animalrights #animalwelfare #godsinshackles

A sad reminder that littering, and lack of proper waste disposal, is bad for not just the environment, but also our animal friends. https://t.co/MX4KB4py1v

Asian elephants in #Bangladesh are seeing their lives and lands disrupted from refugees. "In this situation, elephants will definitely face problems finding food, resting sites and ultimately elephants will search for food in the human settlements." https://t.co/ARs9uCwEjE

Why do elephants keep crossing roads in Peninsular Malaysia? That’s the question a team of researchers set out to answer in order to help find solutions to the growing risk of pachyderms being killed or injured on Malaysian roads. https://t.co/ULqWlMI6n5

Our African & Asian ele-friends see their young taken and kidnapped far too often. The number of incidents should always be 0. Families torn apart & divided, all so the calves can be raised in captivity, denied basic rights, yet often sentenced to a lifetime of torture and abuse.

We've all experienced pain/discomfort of blisters from shoes. It hurts, but we can put on a band-aid for relief. Imagine that pain, but greatly increase it, and imagine being completely unable to stop the pain all while it continues to get worse and you bleed from large wounds.

Could you imagine being forced to face and endure one of your greatest fears, along with loud noises and explosions happening around you, but being unable to run to safety because your legs are held in heavy shackles? #godsinshackles #animalrights #animalwelfare

Bornean elephants are a subspecies of Asian Elephants that only exist in a small region of Borneo, & their presence has been a mystery. Scientists have discovered they might've arrived at a time of the last land bridge between the Sunda Islands in SE Asia. https://t.co/ygV9Z270QP

Gunda, an Asian elephant who just celebrated her 67th birthday last November, is entering hospice care. Because of her advanced age she's experiencing a natural decline in health. https://t.co/5soGtqSaTO

Xinhua Net reported that an elephant weighing 60kg fell into a ditch from a 60-metre-high hill. The baby calf has been taken to a wild Asian elephant rescue centre for observation and treatment. It is frail and still in critical condition. https://t.co/Yb1XpyUtAG
