Fact: Elephants are Better then People


Animals are amazing, especially elephants. Elephants have a far more superior level of intelligence to almost any other land animal, excluding humans,*** and are compared to the Great Ape's cognitive abilities, since they are both able to use and make tools. This is partially do to their large brain mass. Elephants have many emotional and intellectuals attributes that humans, primates, and dolphins share such as self awareness, the ability to grieve, a sense of humor, compassion, mimic, play, and the ability to make art, such as self portraits. Elephants also have some cognitive abilities that even most humans don't have, such as the ability to be altruistic, or the ability to care selflessly about others.

*** It has never been scientifically proven that humans are smarter then elephants.





The hippocampus, the part of the brain that enables one to process emotion is 2% larger in an elephant then in humans, which make elephants emotionally superior to humans. I can understand why this would be true since most people are complete selfish assholes who only care about themselves. You know who you are.

Because elephants are emotionally sensitive, they are likely to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which can effect an elephants quality of life. An elephant's lifespan is similar to humans, ranging from 50 - 80 years, if they live in the wild. Elephants in captivity, under emotional stress, live much shorter lives, (about 16.5 yrs. on average!) which is why elephants should not be kept in zoos. It is a sin that people continue to imprison elephants for their own entertainment. Selfish Douche Bags! They wouldn't do that to you! May the Lord in heaven strike you dead in your sleep, if you believe in that religious nonsense. Otherwise, I hope you catch something.
