This article was fascinating! It seems the elephants are starting a revolution of their own! They are fighting back!...And teaching us about ourselves at the same time. I found the last little bit the most interesting. An elephant kills a human aggressor, then takes, and buries it, and mourns it with her herd as if it was one of them. They even defend it against potential harm. Are we truly the only intelligent, or even the smartest creatures on this planet? The fact that elephants seem have a sense of morality, forgiveness, an understanding of death, and social cohesion that rivals, if not surpasses that of our own really makes me wonder. (The article is quite long. 10 pages. but well worth it. It made me think!)
