This is the Elephant Sanctuary, a 10-year-old hospice for elderly, ailing elephants from circuses and zoos. Here the animals spend their final years roaming, dining on wild plants and cavorting with their own kind. Great Article from the Chicago Tribune

What a charming story! I wish more of my reading encouraged me to have hope that we're on the right track. Thanks, Echo.

Thanks Echo. I think the complaining townspeople need some radical reeducation regarding elephants! Elephants just happen to "share" this Earth with humans...we should be thankful for their tolerance.

it does the heart good to hear some good news now and then. Mostly all we read is cruelty and then more cruelty. Thank you Tennessee, you've done yourselves grand. Wish the rest of the country would follow suit.
