An open apology to elephants

“Our report was about a dramatic increase in elephant attacks on humans. Hundreds of people are being killed worldwide every year. The elephants are retaliating for being hunted down for their ivory tusks, for the culling of their herds, the kidnapping of their young, the exploitation and abuse they suffer in captivity and for finding themselves increasingly squeezed out of their natural habitat by an invasion of human settlers. All this, the experts say, has led to a breakdown of the close societal ties of elephant herds. In short, the elephants are at war with mankind, a war they are losing.” – CBC News
