This guy is remarkable. He risked his own well being and did everything he could to help these animals, despite having NO training on wtf to do. He did things like sing to the elephants to acclimate them to humans. Just in these actions, his compassion is really inspiring.
Then Lawrence went and died. Things got more awesome and inspiring.

“A good man died suddenly,†says Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D., “and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost ‘funereal’ procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased man’s home.â€
“If there ever were a time, when we can truly sense the wondrous ‘interconnectedness of all beings,’ it is when we reflect on the elephants of Thula Thula. A man’s heart’s stops, and hundreds of elephants’ hearts are grieving. This man’s oh-so-abundantly loving heart offered healing to these elephants, and now, they came to pay loving homage to their friend.â€
