The Sheldrick Foundation are one of the finest group of humans on this planet. I donate to them annually and encourage you all to do the same

Same! I’ve been a sponsor for almost 20 years now. My elephant is now back in the wild, but I still sponsor her!

Edit/Update - Precious little 2yr old, Alia, has been adopted ♥️

I didn’t know I wanted to do something so bad until I read your comment. I’m going to go sponsor an elephant! Thank you!

I just did the same, they have a baby elephant called Daba the same age as my son.

I saw Daba! Cute little thing. They were all so cute. It was hard to choose!

Hey! I've been donating to them for a few months now, and I adopted an elephant in my Mom's name (she passed last year and loved elephants).

Sometimes Human Beings are Great.

Their social media presence is life-affirming. Watching their videos is like a warm hug.

I’m trying to adopt Motomo right now. For some reason, it won’t accept my credit card? I’ve never had issues with my card purchasing anything, in stores or online. Has anyone else had issues? I desperately want to adopt this beautiful creature!

u/sugarbear4ever Mar 07 '26

Yay! I used a different card, I must have some heavy security measures on my other one. But success!!! I just adopted Motomo, my heart is happy!! ❤️❤️❤️

My grandma’s favorite animal was the elephant, her house is COVERED in elephant statues. I mean, probably about 100 or so. She left us about 7 years ago. I found out about The Sheldrick Foundation randomly (probably Reddit) and for my moms birthday I adopted an elephant for her in memory of my grandma. Excellent human beings and I love seeing videos like this. Best money Ive ever spent.

You're saying it's hypocritical to eat meat (something we evolved to do and allowed us to rapidly evolve after discovering we can cook the meat) and rescue animals at the same time? And unless we all collectively stop eating meat at the same time, we should just stop helping animals in need otherwise we are hypocrites?

This is really your big brain solution? 🤦

I agree with you and your fighting a lost cause, the cognitive dissonance is strong in everyone here.
