Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

I am Karen Hunter.

And today I was going to talk about the humanity of elephants.

There was a TikTok Instagram video going around talking about multiple ones,

actually, how humane elephants are. They were talking about how when they're transported

in these giant crates, the way that they keep them, because you know, they weigh a lot,

several tons. The way that they keep the

airplane steady is that they fill their crates with baby chicks. And because elephants are so

sensitive and humane, they don't move for the entire trip because they don't want to crush

the baby chicks. So that has been

dispelled that there's no evidence at all that elephants and chicks, baby chicks, fly together

under any circumstance that has not been proven anywhere. Snopes even rang in and said that is false.

But the reason why I believe that it was probably true,

and there's been several elephant stories,

one of the first elephant stories I heard.

I think Pat Summitt was delivering a speech,

and she was talking about how they trained elephants in the circus

to not run away because, you know, elephants can move.

They're the largest land mammal, but they run 25 miles an hour.

They can crush and stomp out whole houses and cars.

Like they are strong.

But in a circus, they only use a little tiny rope
