Kate: I refuse to get involved in a thread that is bound to turn into a raging debate concerning animal rights, animal conciousness, and the emotional life of same. Ain't gonna go there. Wouldn't be prudent.

I will offer one small bit of comfort for you. Elephants, (and Oliphaunts, too, I sumise) very rarely lay down, since their weight would compress their organs. They sleep standing up. An elephant laying down is a VERY sick or dying elephant.
