Re: Dangerous Animal Incidents
a haven for rescued elephants
These so called havens and sanctuaries are not only bad for elephants but also for the staff

Re: Dangerous Animal Incidents
With "all" do you include the elephants?

Re: Dangerous Animal Incidents
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

Re: Dangerous Animal Incidents
They may look fine, but it's not at all natural!
I agree with Peter, close all those places down. They start as a rehab center and then it degenerates into a money making scam.Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Re: Dangerous Animal Incidents
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

Rescued from what? In India it was Elephants that had been working.
