whose mother was killed by hunters. The ad implied the baby elephant would be all alone with no biologic mother, which is total bullshit. Elephants are a herd animal and when an elephant mother dies, the rest of the herd takes on the baby and protects it. I hate charities that lie to people to get contributions.
