    • @SlenderTroll
      @SlenderTroll 9 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      Likecol Colas While I agree the enclosure is much too small and elephants should be some of the few animals that shouldn't be entrapped in captivity due to their complexity of mind, I do believe you have very poor knowledge on elephant hierarchy. Typical elephant herds consist of females and young- some related, some friends with the matriarch. When male offspring in the herd get too large, they are kicked out by the matriarch to prevent them from inbreeding with their aunts, mothers, and sisters. Male elephants in the wild only meet with a particular female once, and that's to mate. Adult bull elephants are polygamous and would be a danger to keep around babies. Some young bulls conglomerate in bachelor herds and make friends with unrelated males when they're not in musth. When a bull goes into musth, everything is their enemy, including other animals, such as rhinos. Your move captain know-it-all.

    • @likecolcolas7762
      @likecolcolas7762 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Der Grossmann with a little more research you will find that males do coexists with raising herbs, it's just that not on a daily basis. About females kicking adolescents... The reasons you give are not accurate at all and many times they leave on their own, it's the natural order.. What i think that happens in this video is that elephants need very huge territories for there to be natural order.. the male is just being a male, aggressive in some cases which does not mean he's going to kill it's off pring, it's not that related but you can watch this video watch?v=r7h4TESJs7M , there's a male lion showing aggression too xd

They made him move away and then surrounded the baby, and then the male starting making squeaking noises which basically means "Hey I'm sorry I just want to look, he's so cute".

      @fungames24 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Unlikely. The Cows are self-sufficient in their defence requirements. There is not much of a role in the herd for a bull. So, bonding doesn't take place. Because the bulls don't really kill calves, they have no way to know if the calf is related to them. There is no reason why a bull should be friendly to a calf.

  • @garyalexander4162
    @garyalexander4162 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Usually in nature ( not a zoo I hate zoos), male elephants are pushed out by the head female elephant when they reach musth stage. But, here's the exception to the rule there are well documented cases where male elephants pick one female in the herd and shadow their chosen mate. He keeps his distance until the female is ready to mate again, thus in this way they can have a family. Also; there have been cases where bull elephants have adopted orphaned baby elephants. It's usually young males usually over age of two, who no longer need milk. Keep in mind elephants mature at roughly the same age, as us so when the matriarch's kick the bulls out they are likened to adult teens.

      Godstolemybike,
      They are zoo elephants. They have paved habitat around the pool, an indoor area, (because the winters are cold) and areas of grass and scrub. There is a large enough space for the elephants to divide themselves into groups as they choose. .
      The little female with tusks is a rare Pigmy lephant from Borneo. She is the only one born wild, and was rescued as an abandoned infant, partly blind and with injuries. She could not be released back into the wild.

      tennessee elephant sanctuary has over 2000 acres. it is not mud holes at all. it has thicket, open area and they have to dig to make the mud holes. they can go there.

      Johna Charles Since it's opening, TES is responsible for over 17 elephant deaths. We know not every facility is perfect, There will be deaths BUT The Death Rate is what's the concern here. At least 2 Elephants die at TES each year. 6 Elephants have died in a 3-year period alone! To the Animal Rights Extremists, The deaths seem "natural" and They claim the Elephants die because they were worked to death from their previous lives and "gave up". Nonsense and Lies! These Elephants were in fact proven that they did not show health problems or mental issues UNTIL arriving at the facility. Another concern is the causes of death - over 70% are apparently 'Unknown", while others died of foot diseases or TB (Tuberculosis). Some were also said to be euthanized for unknown reasons. The Life expediency at TES is only between 40-50 years, while in Zoos and most circuses, It's 50-70 years. The oldest elephants in human care happen to reside in Zoological or Circus care. The oldest Elephants in the US happen to be in proper human care. Let's analyze the Deaths of TES:
      -
      DEATHS + CAUSE OF DEATH:
      Barbara (aged 35) - pulmonary infection and chronic wasting disease
      Tina (aged 34) - Heart Problems
      Lota (aged 53) - Tuberculosis (TB)
      Jenny (aged 34) - Foot problems
      Delhi (aged 72) - Unknown
      Queenie (aged 49) - Unknown
      Bunny (aged 56) - filed as "Unknown" (We'll get to what happened to her...)
      Lottie (aged 47) - Unknown, but most reports claim TB exposure
      Dulary (aged 50) - Unknown
      Frieda (aged 49) - filed under "Unknown", TB exposure
      Liz (aged 58) - TB (confirmed by TES)
      Misty (aged 52) - Euthanized (Unknown reasons)
      Winkie (aged 51) - Euthanized (Foot issues)
      Ned (aged 22) - Starved to death (death filed as "unknown")
      Zula (aged 34) - Fell after entering the barn, died that night (filed as "Unknown")
      Rosie (aged 47) - Collapsed; never helped up
      Hadari (aged 37) - Cardiac Arrest (body wasn't found until hours later)
      There are more death reports which you can RESEARCH on.
      he Elephants of TES are forced to stay in cramped, concrete barn stalls. They have no substrate - like rubber mats, straw, sawdust or soft soil to ease their feet, like Zoos and Circuses provide. Standing on Concrete for long periods of time causes severe foot issues and can lead to diseases, as concrete is highly difficult to disinfect, Elephants are isolated while in the stalls and some have gotten so frustrated, They have harmed themselves by hitting their heads on the steel bars, causing bruises. The elephants are in the stalls almost 60% of their days, some only allowed outside for a photoshoot. Untreated Foot rot, dehydrated skin, dry ankles and infections are other commonly seen issues in Elephants at TES. It's obvious that there is no proper veterinary care provided which has led to such health issues and deaths. There is no Hands-On care at TES, like Zoological facilities mostly provide. According to sources written by former caregivers, The Elephants are basically ignored, expected to be wild animals again and deal with things on their own.
      Bunny spent the majority of her life at the Mesker Park Zoo in Indiana, until The Zoo had to find her a new home due to financial issues and because they wanted her "retired". Bunny arrived at TES in September of 1999 and like them all, For a few months, She was kept isolated. Bunny did socialize after that but not so much. She never grew up with these elephants so she ignored them. After about 3 years there, Bunny was diagnosed with Severe Foot problems and slight arthritis. Files revealed that Bunny was barely treated and was still forced to be in a concrete barn stall without anything to ease her feet, which is why she chose to stay outside as much as she could. Her foot issues grew worse after more time went on, even developing minor foot rot on her back feet.
      -
      Sadly, In May of 2009 - Bunny fell down outside and couldn't get back up. TES staff used a Backhole to try to get her up but only injured her more. Carol Buckley was CEO of TES at the time and was told Bunny needed to be euthanized by a Veterinarian from the University of Georgia. Buckley did no such thing and only allowed a Tarp over Bunny and doped her up on pain medications, while Bunny laid there for 13 days and finally died, crushed by her own weight. TES was immediately cited by the USDA for not euthanizing Bunny when told to. Bunny had to suffer for 13 days and suffered without treatment for her feet for years. This was WRONG and VILE.
      TES is currently underemployed with only 6 elephant caregivers and 2 veterinarians, both members of PETA, on site. TES does however have more Board members and have linked 40-60% of their funds to PETA and their own legal expenses rather than buying needs for their Elephants. In one financial report, over $3,000 was mysteriously gone. TES claims to provide lots of fresh produce and hay for their elephants but Zoo elephants get more hay and fruits than TES elephants! In photos posted by TES, You'll never see an elephant given a entire stack or mountain of hay or a big pile of produce. TES expects them to be wild elephants again and only feed them these things like treats, making them live off the land. For the last few months, TES has been practically begging for donations since Nosey arrived - proving they see these animals as nothing but "poster children". Their employees also aren't required high education, only a year of internship and volunteering. So there's uneducated caregivers with no true knowledge of how to care for these animals, unlike those in Zoos and Circuses that are required to have some form of animal education or have spent their lives with elephants since childhood.
      Former employees of TES have spoken up about the welfare of the elephants as well as how their work environment was like. A Letter posted by one former elephant caregiver has been recently uncovered - revealing more on the true nature of former CEOs - Carol Buckley and Scott Blais.
      In 2008, An Elephant named Ned was reportedly "confiscated" by the USDA and forced to be taken to TES. Ned's owner, Lance Ramos explained that Ned was a highly picky eater and the Elephant's personal veterinarian had Ned on a strict diet due to Ned having his own food preferences. Ned was not severely underweight when taken and while Ned was in the trailer to be taken to TES, Ramos tried bringing Ned some of his favorite treats and to say Good-Bye but was threatened by an officer that he would be shot on sight if he came near the elephant. Ned was taken to TES, and There he was completely miserable. Ned was kept isolated, had little contact and with lack of respect, TES staff did not continue Ned's prescribed Diet as recommended by his vet. For days, Ned refused to eat and barely drank water. He lost weight very quickly withing a couple months. Staff kept using Ned to gain donations, which were never used to help him. Within 6 months, Ned grew weakened and He finally died. TES later wrote that Ned had "ulcers and scarring in his intestines from stress". Elephant experts and Ned's personal vet denied this. His personal vet saying that Ned had none of those issues when he was with Ramos, If he did, Ramos wouldn't have him travel at all. Ned was only 22 years old and was the youngest to suffer and die of the neglect at TES.
      TES has had more TB outbreaks occur at their facility more than any facility in the US (besides PAWS - another awful "sanctuary" in CA) - Reported exposures and Outbreaks occurred in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Former CEO Carol Buckley and Staff blamed elephants Liz and Lota for the first TB exposing in 2009 when really it was the staff who was never tested for TB. At least 3 staff members were tested positive after the TB outbreak was learned. You see, these "Sanctuaries" do not have the same guidelines as Zoos and Circuses - which is Staff must be monthly tested for TB - as it is highly contagious between humans and elephants alike. TES claims Lota had TB after coming to TES from the Hawthorn Corp. but records from Hawthown revealed that Lota didn't test positive for TB while she was there. Lota tested positive within a month of being at TES. It was passed to Liz and 2 other elephants. TES did treatment but not enough. TES used the TB stories to gain more donations for their own use. Liz was exposed again and again in 2010, 2012 and 2015, until she finally died from TB in 2015. With concrete barns and such large spaces, It is near to impossible to completely get rid of TB bacteria and the bacteria can breed constantly. TES only isolated TB positive Elephants, and there are no reports of them giving proper trunk washes to Elephants with TB.
      Recently, TES admitted that in 2017 that Shirley has been exposed to TB since 2016 and is isolated. It's only a matter of time before Shirley becomes another victim. Sissy and Debbie are also suspected to have TB as their weight loss is a sign. Also, currently 5 of TES's Asian herd are in "Q-Habitat" or "Quarantine" - another TB outbreak is possible...

And plus, these elephants are in the zoo for a reason, Asian elephants are endangered, and the Oregon Zoo is trying to help them. Don't worry, their exhibit is absolutely huge! In fact, the zoo is making it even bigger.

Is he just excited? How do we know the sounds mean hostile intent? I don't speak elephant and really don't know their body language.

      Probably zoo staff there to make sure they don't start fighting. Fire extinguishers are often used to separate animals in zoos and circuses because it's scary but doesn't harm them. Works much better than a hose.
