WELCOME TO ELEPHANT LOVERS!
Please visit the red pinned threads (below) to find the introductory threads that are most important for our group! Also check out many of the link in this box below to educate yourself on the many places that help elephants and what you can do to help them. THANKS!

Elephants suffer in captivity from tuberculosis and fatal foot rot due to not getting the exercise they would normally get in their natural habitat. TB is often carried by performing elephants and can spread from human to elephant and vice versa. Please join us in rejoicing in the elephants that have been mercifully retired and speak for the others who await their freedom.

Check out PAWS Sanctuary.
