Although some might disagree, I believe that at this point, it is necessary to acknowledge the existence of feelings in all animals. Sure, some more so than others, but the days of merely calling the animals with whom humans share this planet “beasts” are long gone.
Animals are capable of love and pain, fear and joy, and occasionally pictures or movies that truly convey how in tune they are will be taken.
One such event was experienced on PBS in 2000 as a result of a tale that immediately went viral around the world. It is about two ex-circus elephants apart for a staggering 22 years. You don’t want to miss the emotional moment they reunited, caught on camera.

Shirley and Jenny, the elephants, finally meet after more than twenty years apart in the video, which was captured at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Although it is common knowledge that elephants have a remarkable memory, this video’s demonstration of love and affection is astonishing.
When the two elephants renew a bond that they had when they were both circus performers, even the caretakers are taken aback.

Shirley and Jenny immediately bridge a more than twenty-year gap after seeing one other through the gates.

EVERY animal on this planet deserves to live a happy life.
