a haven for rescued elephants

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

I've actually been there and ridden the ellies! it is great fun and all seemed organised and happy.

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

The ellies were fine!

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.

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

This one uses rescued ellies from Zimbabwe...

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