I just had to watch this again. This time it made my cry...for different reasons. I miss 71, and now the 2nd bull elephants has arrived at ARK2000. So much love to give. I know I can speak for all of the animals lucky enough to have passed through the "gates" of PAWS or ARK2000..."We love you Pat, thank you for our second chance at a happy life"! "Now, get your butt back out here and tell these silly humans what to do! We are lost without our shining beacon..."
71 was a good name and still is. The book written by Pat Derby about Mara and 71 really had an impact on me. I'm very happy that her and all the other people who create it, have made places like this possibly for these animals.

So glad you were able to take 71. We miss her too. Thanks for all you do for the animals you take care of. Loved your book, Lady and the Tiger.

Rest in Peace 71. You were such a lucky elephant to be raised by such loving and caring humans like Pat and Ed. We all miss you!
"Your" ARK2000 continues to grow and become sanctuary to elephants such as yourself.
