These cries for help have been heard and that is what this blog is all about. Listen to their cries of injustice and answer them by recognizing their plight. Let's stand together and let their voices be heard.Longfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00222548704411176802noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38892339.post-8745197393403695242007-12-20T11:39:00.001-08:002007-12-20T11:39:20.662-08:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38892339-874519739340369524?l=writers-box.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Longfieldnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38892339.post-85822323193989612172007-11-30T08:07:00.000-08:002009-01-15T16:48:01.655-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xv0gUQGHAck/R2q_nZ35ZBI/AAAAAAAAADA/l5MJXVIH6WE/s1600-h/elephants.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146136207905350674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xv0gUQGHAck/R2q_nZ35ZBI/AAAAAAAAADA/l5MJXVIH6WE/s320/elephants.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Elephants Never Forget. </span></div><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br /><br /><div><br /></span></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Xv0gUQGHAck/Rqkg18bWuCI/AAAAAAAAABs/PWI9qPOClGA/s1600-h/elephants.bmp"></a><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">PETA is a non profit organization which stands for Peoples Ethical Treatment of Animals. See their website: </span><a href="http://www.peta.org/about/"><span style="color:#ffffff;"></a></span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><a href="http://www.peta.org/about/">http://www.peta.org/about/</span></a>< <span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />Donations are greatly appreciate for the animals hear their pleas. PETA main purpose of the group is for the ethical treatment of animals states to set up banned ordinances that forbid the use of electric prods, bull hooks as well as other inflicting pain devices used on Circus Elephants or any other abusive instruments. <br /><br />There is concern by this organize to bring awareness of cruelty to Circus Elephants by their trainers or care takers.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"> <br />Mainly not only for the safety of the animals are they concerned but for the audience that could be in danger. If these elephants go on a rampage from such abuse. <br />Because these circuses travel from town to town and ordinances would have to be in place in order for these areas to have any jurisdiction over these issues . </span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />Each individual state can enact this ordinance which would provide protection and authority to act on these reports.PETA has reported these abusive confinements and state that the beatings of these elephants are concealed from public view in an online video; you can see the elephant being prod ed by a bull hook and screaming while the hook is being embedded into his skin. <br /><br />These videos prove what goes on behind closed doors and now it is in our hands to make a stand for them that have no voice. </span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Please go to these websites and see for yourself. If we are truly animal loving than stand up and be counted. You cannot close an eye to such abusive behavior especially someone who is its caretaker. Most elephants live a saddened life of confinement and mistreatment. We've got to open those closed doors to let the light shine in.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">This is my second journal entry and by you reading it in hopes you will come away feeling compassion for any animals ill treatment. Thanks for letting me vent my opinion. In hopes this has made you more aware of our world that needs sometimes to be shown the right path.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Best!!!</span><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></div><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xv0gUQGHAck/R73Nx8wPOCI/AAAAAAAAAEk/kggn6czlSVQ/s1600-h/jennyandshirleyelephants.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169514205296932898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xv0gUQGHAck/R73Nx8wPOCI/AAAAAAAAAEk/kggn6czlSVQ/s320/jennyandshirleyelephants.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br />In Jenny's passing here the trumpeting.<br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Shirley and Jenny were both Circus Performing Elephants. Shirley adopted Jenny an orphan.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">she became her surrogate mother. Even after becoming separated Shirley never </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">forgot. The separation lasted twenty three years. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">During this time Shirley was taken the Carol Buckley's Sanctuary Reserve for abused elephants.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">It was during this time that Jenny was bought to the reserve. When Jenny saw Shirley both</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">started to trumpet vocalizing their joy at seeing each other again. They both quickly fell into their old routine of roaming the sanctuary together. Constantly in each others company.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Both renew their long lost friendship.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Several years had pasted and Jenny became ill the results from a leg injury. It was during this time that Shirley stood vigil over her while nested down in a shady valley underbrush. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Night and day Shirley never left her side . She used her trunk to help[ Jenny up and turn from side to side. there were two other sanctuary friends by the names of Tarra and Bunny.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">During Jenny's passing. Shirley and the other friends started vocalizing and making trumpeting</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">sounds. These vibrating sounds were felt through out the sanctuary. It was their way of expressing Jenny's joy filled of her life. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">After her passing Shirley became depressed over her friends passing. For days the two elephants Shirley and Bunny had not returned to the barn. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Finally another circus outcast by the name of Misty She was a new arrival. This little one had an enormous energy with her spinning and loud jubilant trumpeting restored Shirley.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">She was back to her old self again. Eating and playing restoring her spirit. She was back with the herd. Thanks to this Tennessee Sanctuary they will have a home for as long as they live.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">If this isn't a happy ending. Elephants do have a heart because they never forget.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Best!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcc66;">></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38892339-8582232319398961217?l=writers-box.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Longfieldnoreply@blogger.com0
