- Such wonderful animals
They live in families and are gentle creatures.
Loving.
I have always loved Elephants and it is such a shame that they are hunted and killed for their tusks.
I have always had a collection of small elephants , below are three of them.

and funnily enough Paul bought me in Stratford a lovely little limited edition Elephant.
He is called Mumbo Jumbo and I loved him as soon as I saw him !
He was in the Teddy Bear shop and he looked at me and I looked back, I did go and look at all the other bears about the shop but then I was soon back at the counter and looking at him in his glass display case.
The shop owner told us all about the designer of him , how she'd sell her bears at Alexandra Palace teddy bear show, everyone would be there two hours before and she'd turn up with her small case 20 minutes before the door opened and that out her bears , then half an hour later close her empty case and go!
He reminds me of Elephant toys of old, Barbar and Rupert's friend whose name escapes me.
So apt that I should receive him just before World Elephant day.

A World Elephant Day is so very nice to celebrate. I truly hope that one day there will be no one killing elephants. I have always loved them too Dee. Gentle creatures. Your Mumbo Jumbo elephant is wonderful and I love his outfit too. Thank you for a meaningful and timely post. :) xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad that this wonderful animals are still being killed just for the vanity of man! It breaks my heart every time I see some poor Elephants body.:( I knew that you would love Elephants too! :)
DeleteI just loved Mumbo Jumbo on sight! :)xxx
Elephants are lovely creatures, it's very sad that they are still hunted for their tusks. However, have you seen those reports on FB where the tusks are being dyed with something that doesn't harm the animal but makes their tusks useless to the poachers? I hope the idea catches on because if it works then it's certainly worth doing.
ReplyDeleteAs for your tiny little elephant, he's so very sweet, I love anything miniature like this, a lovely gift for your anniversary from Paul. :)
Big hugs Sharon xxx
It is sad Sharon and I hope that dye for the tusks is put on all elephants tusks to save these magnificent creatures, it would be wonderful!.
DeleteI too love anything miniature :) and was so happy when Paul said he'd buy him for me! A lovely gift indeed , hugs Dee xx
Thanks for bringing World Elephant Day celebration to my attention.
ReplyDeleteDo hope that this deterrent of colouring their husks works.
Cute little Mumbo Jumbo bear. A dear and loveable wedding anniversary present.
I so hope that colouring the tusks will work.
DeleteA lovely perfect wedding anniversary present :)
We love elephants in our family. I've been fortunate enough to have seen them 'in the wild' in South Africa (well, in game reserves). My daughters gave me a denim elephant shaped door stop for my birthday this year, an Elmer I bought for Dmd when she was born is in the basket of 'keepers' and we have various other soft toy elephants and some ornaments. Your Mumbo Jumbo is lovely, I can understand why you kept going back to him. I have heard of the tusk anti poaching paint - it needs to be properly funded and applied to all elephants and Rhinos.
ReplyDeleteWhats not to love about Elephants :) I unfortunately have only seen them in Regents park Zoo many many years ago, not a place for such large animals.
DeleteI was so pleased to have come across Mumbo Jumbo :) I agree all elephants and Rhino's need to have this paint applied.
Isn't it ridiculous we have to bring the plight of these beautiful creatures to anyone's attention! Peoples ignorance disgusts me.
ReplyDeleteYour little elephant is extremely cute indeed :) x
Totally Agree that in this day and age , we humans, are still destroying animals for personnal gain or just for the thrill which is even worse!
DeleteMumbo jumbo is just Ele tastic!! :)xx
