cute elephants

I found this cute picture of two elephants snuggling on flickr at hialoakapua. I love elephants and think that they are beautiful animals. I collect elephant knick naks and have always been told that if you have an elephant figure that has it's nose up that it means good luck. I don't think that these animals should be killed just for their tusks and the value of the ivory. The elephants life is worth more than that. These two elephants deserve their life and the life of their mom more than we deserve jewelry etc.
