I think it’s necessary to acknowledge the existence of feelings in all animals at this point, despite the opinions of others, who might disagree. Sure, some more so than others, but the days of simply referring to the animals with which humans share this planet as “beasts” are long gone.
Animals are capable of feeling joy and fear as well as love and pain, and occasionally, pictures or movies will be taken that truly capture how sensitive they are.
A story that instantly went viral around the world led to one such event that was seen on PBS in 2000. A staggering 22 years separate two ex-circus elephants in the story. You won’t want to miss the heartfelt reunion moment that was captured on camera.
The video was recorded at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee and shows Shirley and Jenny, two elephants, finally getting together after more than twenty years apart. Although it is well known that elephants have a remarkable memory, the display of love and affection in this video is astounding.
Even the keepers are shocked when the two elephants rekindle a relationship they had when they were both circus performers.
Upon first encountering one another through the gates, Shirley and Jenny quickly bridge a gap of more than twenty years.
Watch the breathtaking video in the clip below:.
A happy life is something that EVERY animal on the planet is entitled to.
