He's big on the environment and animals, thankfully.

I sure think it is just wonderful to help the elephants. , love that someone cares for these awesome animals it is a very worthy cause indeed.  I would just hope that if someone claims to care for they environment would practice what they preach and stop flying all around in their private jets that put pollution in the air .  The Hollywood types shouldn't preach to all of us and say it's not good for us to do this and that , but it is ok for them,  really tired of it.

Hypocrisy isn't restricted to just those "Hollywood types".

Good for him.  Yes, they kill the elephants for the ivory (sick).  Just like they are killing lions for the fun of it.    I could not believe that people pay $50,000 to kill an animall.  What kind of person does that?

How do you expect him to get to film locations to earn the million?

 

Private jets are small, use less fuel than the huge ones used to fly people to their vacations.

I actually donated money several years ago to the David Sheldrick foundation.  I adopted an elephant.  Her name was Makena.  They sent me pictures of her as she grew.  Ironically, it turned out she had the same birthday as me.  She lost her mama to poachers.  Elephants hold a very special place in my heart.

 

I'd rather live amongst them than with most people.

What a kind thing to do.

 

I wish I were able to do the same!
