The tactics you need to employ in order to get an elephant to behave in this fashion are so horrific I can’t post them.

If this were 30 years ago, I still wouldn’t accept it, but I would understand that perhaps people didn’t know what goes into this sort of training.

Now, there is no excuse.

The Texas GOP having an elephant at its convention means the Texas GOP enables animal abuse.

And Governor @GregAbbott_TX’s name is on the banner, which also means he condones and enables the abuse of an elephant.

It is scientifically and biologically impossible to have an elephant become controllable in this fashion without subjecting it to abuse.

Elephants are not domesticated.

In order to accomplish this sort of obedience, you have to break the elephant down.

Absolutely horrific.

And it is worth noting that Texas still doesn’t have a statewide ban on the use of bullhooks against elephants.

Putting an elephant into a convention hall like this is torturing it beyond the full comprehension of any human being, because we do not possess the sensory capabilities elephants do.

Elephants have the strongest sense of smell in the animal kingdom.

They can smell WATER from many miles away.

Now imagine putting this poor elephant into an enclosed space with thousands of people, perfume, food, sweat, cleaning products, flooring, and equipment.

This elephant was hit with a massive wall of biological information and sensory overload that we cannot begin to understand.

Elephants also sense sound and vibration through their FEET, not just their ears.

In the wild, they can communicate with each other from miles away just by sensing communication through their feet.

Now imagine what that elephant is experiencing in a convention hall: thousands of human footsteps, sound systems, equipment, metal clanging, concrete, and more.

A confusing hell.

Finally, hard artificial surfaces, in this case the convention hall floor, are terrible for elephants.

Currently all info on the website for the Selective Service System (the draft) about Conscientious Objection is a dead link. This denies 19 million draft-eligible youth vital facts about their rights.

The Trump administration wants to let oil companies skip environmental review in Alaska's 23-million-acre NPR-A, and the official overseeing the plan is the former CEO of the industry group pushing for it.

This is corruption, plain and simple.

To be clear: the Arctic Refuge coastal plain is the most biologically sensitive part of the refuge. It's where polar bears den and the Porcupine caribou herd gives birth. No amount of oil justifies what drilling would do to this place.
