Freedom Walk

A Hearty Greeting   (Photo by jinterwas) 
The human civil rights movement has long relied upon public marches and walks.  Now a hardy herd of elephants is on the move for their own freedom.

Just as animals often take their cues from humans, people sometimes take their cues from animals.  As China’s footloose herd makes its way through miles of terrain, the populace is somewhat inspired.  One  YouTube writer summed it up quite nicely: “We should be more like the elephant and be more family oriented, take family vacations and help and care for and protect each other,”

Elephants are highly evolved and exhibit a great degree of intelligence and compassion.  Should they be treated as mere beasts of burden, or should they be granted rights that reflect their behavioral displays of advanced consciousness?
