As long as people speak up they have the chance to change the way others think. In this case the way an institution treats other beings. It sometimes just takes a couple of minutes to change the life of another being to the better forever.

“Texas A&M University boasts that its core values are excellence, integrity, leadership, respect, and selfless service—but these qualities are absent as the university moves forward with plans to continue an archaic tradition of exploiting elephants and supporting an industry of cruelty and abuse. The Elephant Walk, an event designed to pay homage to exiting seniors, has traditionally hosted a live elephant. Join PETA in urging Texas A&M to wake up to the age of compassion for others!”
