Last Sunday night I was watching a segment on 60 minutes about elephants in captivity. What fascinated me was what reseachers discovered - elephants have emotions and they have the ability to store alot in their memory. They gave examples of elephants retaliating against their carers and they found that these elephants must have witnessed something horrific in their childhood. In Africa(can't recall the country), they run a farm for orphaned elephants. They re-program them so that they can form bonds with other orphans there.
As I sat there watching the show, I thought WOW!!! this creative , intelligent Creator made all these. Thank goodness for those who have a heart for wounded animals.
I take my hat off to people who look after animals either at home or in sanctuaries. Genesis 9:3 says '............I now give you everything'. As the most intelligent of God's creation we should be caretakers of all that He has created. They cannot defend (well not all!!) themselves so we need to be there for them.
