Be Kind To Elephants

On Wednesday, the Trump administration lifted the ban on importing elephant trophies into the United States from elephant hunts in two African nations.

African elephants are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

In a passionate speech, Ellen Degeneres promised to make a donation to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for every share her #bekindtoelephants campaign received. Saying, "I love elephants and if you take the time to learn about elephants you would love them too. Elephants show compassion, sympathy, social intelligence, self-awareness … all the things I have yet to see in this president."

Use the hashtag #bekindtoelephants; retweet and share @TheEllenShow's post on twitter, Facebook, and instagram; educate yourself on the magnificence of African elephants.
