:no:
a haven for rescued elephants

These so called havens and sanctuaries are not only bad for elephants but also for the staff

With "all" do you include the elephants?

I hate those places that offer Wild Ellie Rides , Lion Cub Petting and Cheetah Tracking and Walking with Adult Lions (Normally before they are sold off to become a rug in Texas

Shaun was lucky to have survived ..Normally a Hippo Bite makes you into two smaller pieces first bite

They may look fine, but it's not at all natural! :evil: I agree with Peter, close all those places down. They start as a rehab center and then it degenerates into a money making scam.

I have seen one of those places in India and my husband and I ran away after 5 minutes. All the elephants were chained. They got a bath every day, but with people sitting on top of them. The worst was that nobody understood what was wrong 0*\
