Reunited at last, beaten but not bowed, these two former residents of Highgate Woods are finally back together in Chalk Farm, London. They have missed each other tremendously. Elephant emotions run deep and long, they are people after all. ..... .... ... .. . #chalk farm #elephantman #elephantlover #streetart #streetartglobe @primrose_hill_community @camdennewjournal @peaceinprotestuk #art_empire https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJSKcJlnfn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1skqgy3atusr1

The elephants overlooking Woolwich Ferry are no more! Amazingly, a brave citizen confronted the the elephant thief and positively roared in outrage and indignation at the miscreant, who it has to be said was wearing a local council vest and drove a local council badged car. He ran away and left the small elephant but the big one got smashed. Heroic citizen Stuart Ellis didn't leave it there. He called the council to find out if they had sanctioned the removal of the elephants, and apparently they are aware of them but had NOT asked for them to be removed. So he was a thief in a council vest! Thank you @stuartellis2006 I will send you something to thank you for your efforts. ..... .... ... .. . @stuartellis2006 @southlondonnews3 @southeastlondonpress @southlondongallery @southlondonpress @southlondonpressmedia @sololetterpress #elephantman #elephantisuntpersonae #woolwichelephants #elephantlover #elephantsarepeopletoo #woolwich #woolwichferry #woolwicharsenal #loveelephants https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5TCkqF7_u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7u79ogyzcf93

An elephant? In Camberwell? What kind of nonsense is this? Oh, it's those protest elephants put out by that Elephantman. Bloody hand wringing do-gooder, legal rights for elephants and other animals? Preposterous, I don't want to live in a world where we care about those weaker than us! I want fried chicken and roast beef and a fur trimmed parka with real fur, none of that leftie pretend stuff! Namby Pamby leftie vegans with knitted hair shirts...where will it end? Justice and freedom for all beings? Over my dead body! ..... .... ... .. . #timeoutnewyork #timeoutlondon #streetart #streetartlondon #protestart #animalrightsactivist #animalrightsmovement #nonhumanrights #camberwell #camberwellarts #camberwellual @southwarknews #elephant #elephantisuntpersonae #elephantman #elephantintheroom #elephantsculpture #elephantfamily #elephantlover https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPiX-4FV4G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rcobc38un6bg

It was a very short lived demonstration for the rights of elephants and other animals in Hastings yesterday. The owners of the cafe The Stade were displeased with the un-asked for additions to their roof line. You can't please everyone. I noticed that they were on their sides as I drove past heading back to London. I went to the cafe and offered to remove the elephants and all traces of the adhesives used. In recompense for the inconvenience I caused them I let them keep the larger elephant. I hope they grow to love it. This project is all about love, and I do not want to leave people annoyed with what I am doing. We need to learn to love the other beings we share this planet with rather than treating them as commodities which provide us with products. Elephants make Ivory, or will do until they cease to exist in the wild, which is not long away. Pigs make pork, cows make beef and milk and these products require a life of torture and suffering for animals in his so-called animal loving country. Also we are racing into climate catastrophe with the seldom discussed leading cause being our cultivation and consumption of animals. We need to look at our own actions and habits because our governments are just not taking action. Big Love Hastings, I'll be back.... ..... .... ... .. . #hastings #hastingsoldtown #thestade @thebestofhastings @made_in_hastings #jerwoodgallery #streetart #elephantman #elephantisuntpersonae #elephantintheroom #nonhumanrights #animalrights #extinctionrebellion @extinctionrebellion @chrispackhamvoice_for_nature #streetsculpture #protestart https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpCYG6FNya/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ebijl8rnpxl

And then were three again, this time with added plaque helpfully explaining to modern humans in an ancient language what any thinking person knows to be true: elephants are people.

Look the other way from time to time. The world is full of surprises. One day we will think it obvious that elephants and other animals are persons, non-human persons with real legal rights. The right to not be abused, enslaved, exploited, killed and consumed. If we don't get this soon then it will be the end of what we call our civilisation. A new relationship with the other beings and systems that inhabit this planet is needed if we are going to thrive. Let's face it, 99% of us are not thriving while we destroy our home, so we need to find a better way, a way in which humans can be part of the solution rather than the biggest problem on this planet, AND truly thrive at the same time. It is not either or. 🙏🌱✊ ..... .... ... .. . #saveourplanet #veganart #veganism #nonhumanrights #systemsthinking #biodiversity #elephantman #elephantisuntpersonae #elephantsarepeopletoo @zeitgeist_gallery @tzmglobal #zeitgeist #bricklanemarket #bricklane @trumanbrewery @brick_lane_art @bricklaneart #shoreditchstreetart #streetart #streetartnews #streetarteverywhere https://www.instagram.com/p/BpupOQSFwSs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wp28aypcf0z1

BUT! I hear you say, an elephant is not a person because a person is a human! Aha! I say, only recently have we understood a person to be human, a slave was never a 'person', they were classified amongst the furniture in bills of sale back the day, and there were court cases to establish that WOMEN, yes half the population, were persons. Before that they were not persons under the law. In the US a corporation, a sociopathic entity by anyone's estimation is a 'person' under the law, yet it is not human. SO I put it to you, dear recipient of this message, that 'person' is a fluid definition and one which we should broaden to include other beings with whom we share this planet. Personhood confers legal benefits which are not enjoyed by animals at present, they are merely 'things' to be used and abused for 'product'. This is the biggest issue and ongoing horror of our times, yes we need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and yes we must stop throwing plastic into our oceans, but these will have scant effect if we ignore the elephant in the room: animal agriculture, the environmental devastation caused by meat, dairy and fishing added to the cruelty on an epic scale, as these sentient beings are turned into 'product' for our consumption. Bring on the Empathy Revolution brothers and sisters! Huzzah! ..... .... ... .. . @nonhuman.rights.project @nonhumansoflondon @conwayhall @deptforddoesart @bowarts @bruceparry.tawai @elephantfamily @animalagricultureclimatechange #woolwich #streetarteverywhere #streetprotest #animalrights @chrispackhamvoice_for_nature #elephantsarepeopletoo #saveouroceans #saveourplanet #elephantman #elephantintheroom🐘 #climatechange #elephantisuntpersonae #protestsigns #woolwichriverside https://www.instagram.com/p/BpX1EEnl5Gq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hob8upldj9qu

Alert! Elephant missing in action in Greenwich! Thank you Joe Coen for the alert 🙏, may the the cerubic doves of love and abundance keep you company throughout your life. I have now fixed the orphaned elephant situation, but seriously, if you want one, buy one. Sure, they are not so cheap, but less than I would charge for the equivalent time doing construction work. If you want one but can't afford it in one go you can pay instalments, I'm happy with that. You can also buy a plaque or a print and they are not expensive.

It's a grey day in Woolwich kid, but these humans need to be told: elephants are people! All animals want to live free from the threat of extinction or brutal exploitation! ......Also, we can see the river from up here and watch the Woolwich Ferry.

Elephants are people, so are other animals too. My new studio/balcony in Thamesmead. I've been re-organising aspects of my life in recent months so very few elephants have gone out but I'm getting ready to rock in South East London. Expect elephants, not rocks.

Whitstable, well known home of the blue spotted concrete elephant. These normally shy creatures have decided that enough is enough and have come out with their little sign for the humans to read. They've tried telepathy and other esoteric forms of communication, but humans, for all their fancy technology, can't hear these things any more. They wrote it Latin though, but still, nice effort. 'Elephants Are People' the sign says. See? I can translate for you 😌🌱 . . . . . #whitstable #whitstablebeach #northkent #northkentcoast #whitstableharbour #whitstableoystercompany @whitstablebay @whitstabletimes @whitstable.live @whitbien #streetart #guerillasculpture #elephantisuntpersonae #nonhumanrights #streetsculpture #nonhumanpersons #animalrights #veganartist #vegan #elephantman #protestart #writingonthewall
