Why do people need such a strict "safety" line between their own abilities and those of other species?

This Isn’t as amazing as you think. An elephant trainer is standing next to the elephant (out of shot) and directing it. Obviously still quite clever to train an elephant to do that, but if you think an elephant is capable of drawing a representation of itself then you’re sadly deluded.

This is why I donate money to the Elephant Sanctuary (Google it, they’re AMAZING and they need help) and NEVER go to circuses that use elephants as entertainment — those animals live a terrible life. Time for humans to stop thinking they’re the only animals who deserve to have rights.
