Hi, I live in Austin, and there’s this place right outside of Austin that have these really amazing asian elephants, but there making them do tricks, and shows for people. All the trainers have a bullock in their hand, which they refer to as a “guide” for the elephants. I really want to help the elephants, but I’m not sure how. Any ideas???

We have our next round of foster cats in our home! We took in a Mama cat and her kittens. They are just the sweetest! The whole family is helping to take care of them and the whole feline family is enjoying the attention. It’ll be a bit tough to return them for adoption, but we are so happy to have given them a good start in life (and a second…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing! What sort of things have you done for your plastic pollution awareness campaign? I’d love to hear some ideas!
Hi Emerson! Thank you for sharing. I know. It can be so hard seeing things that seem wrong to us and which are upsetting. It makes me feel a bit better though knowing there are people like you around who care and want to make change.
Does the place have a website? Sometimes there is an email address or a ‘Contact Us’ section on the website. I bet…[Read more]
Thanks so much! I’ll do that.
