Comments by "Wobbles And Bean" (@WobblesandBean) on "Why You Can't Have a Baby Elephant for Christmas" video.
13:50 I have experienced this with dolphins and orca. They are probably the only other animals who rival elephants and intelligence and emotional capacity, and you can truly see the profound depth of their sapience in their eyes. They have names. They have language. They have culture. They even have fads, please look up the "salmon hat" trend of the 90s and its glorious return 40 years later, just like human fads do. And yet, just look at how we treat them. Female orca are pretty much guaranteed to lose their first calf by accidental poisoning, because of PFAS chemicals contained in their own milk. And yet the US just voted in a guy who plans on rolling back 50 years of environmental protections and pump even more PFAS's into the ocean. We're talking about an animal who has a larger, more developed, and more neuron-dense emotional center in their brains than we do. So the bonds they feel with their offspring not only equals our own, they might was surpass it. So you can only imagine the devastation they feel from this loss. And because of us, every single female orca will experience it at least once. Some go through it 3-4 times before their talks and load is finally low enough that their calf can survive until weaning. ...And we call ourselves civilized?
