Saw something about how elephants are evolving to not grow tusks.

Hey hey, slow down, I only have so much content.  Don't blow the load unless you're going to mop it.

Good.  These poachers and anyone involved in the ivory trade are vile human beings.  I'm all for animal revenge but we should have never gotten to this point.  There used to be 750K-1m elephants minding their own business, raising tremendous children, and thoroughly enjoying their lives and families.  They have experienced incalculable anxiety and suffering and it's not right.  I've been privileged to go to Kruger and a sanctuary in Chiang Mai, Thailand as well.  These rangers are heroes and are doing all they can to save these wonderful animals.

As far as evolving to go tuskless this is a sad truth in Mozambique.  Rangers 10 yrs ago told us  there were under 75 Bull elephants (Big Tuskers) left.  It's incredibly sad and I feel strongly that more should be done to punish those involved severely.  I actually think it's one of the few issues in the world both political parties agree about and we should come together and do something immediately.

Tuskless In Mozambique.

I thought this was a stretch for a sequel, but damn if Hanks and Ryan didn't pull it off!

Quick plug for anyone who took the time to click on this thread - go check out the Sheldrick Trust on your social media of choice. The work they do, and the inside look they provide into the advanced social dynamics of elephants, is nothing short of magical. Worth adding to your end of year giving list.

Smoked elephant chops pair well with Pinot.   I like adding a lite coating of the bourbon glaze from the Barrel Room in Fish Creek.

I am the wolf as well.  WTF?  I was certain I would be a whale.  The survey clearly has probs.

How was the relish tray?

[real chili 83]

Really good. Came with some Merkt's port wine cheese spread. Nothing finer.

Enjoyed elephant, but the tusks gave me heartburn.

Couldn't bring myself to try elephant fries.

Elephant ears are always popular.

[MuggsyB]

The most ignominious words and discussion I've ever read and totally inexcusable.  Elephants have as complex emotions as we do and tremendous integrity, intelligence, courage, and dignity.

My guess is you have never noticed that elephant's ears are shaped like a heart.  Very disappointed in you Tower.  They are amazing and special creatures.

[tower912]

I'm guessing you've never gone to a county fair or minor league baseball game.

Surprising, since I know you're not new here. I'm not sure they're the most ignominious words and discussion I've read this morning.

Those are some mighty big words, pardner.
