Elephants are amazing animals. They have so much personality, and are by far the most intelligent animal I've ever been around.

By this time, I was totally engulfed in elephants. My passion for the magnificent creatures is like nothing else.

Elephants, it turns out, are surprisingly stealthy. As the sunlight fades, other species declare their presence. Throngs of zebras and wildebeests thunder by in the distance, trailing dust clouds. Cape buffalo snort and raise their horns and position themselves in front of their young. Giraffes stare over treetops, their huge brown eyes blinking, then lope away in seeming slow motion. But no elephants.

True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which is deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.

I am deathly allergic to cats. I mean, I love all animals, but they're not my animal of choice.
