Happy New Year, Ned

[veggiewarriors]

We will not stop fighting till every elephant is free from captivity.

Good bye Sweet Ned.

I wish I met him, seems so calm and sweet

I can't believe anyone dared to mistreat this majestic creature

may they pay the price while he enjoys heaven!

God has you in His eternal care. Always in our hearts. Ned, you are very very special always.

[ramsoknight]

SWEET NED, I MISS YOU!!!

[WildflowerNJ]

God Bless everyone at the Elephant Sanctuary. I am sponsoring Dulary...remembering her from the Philly Zoo. It makes me so happy she is free to roam and have all those friends with her...thank you, always, Elephant Sanctuary...

Ned lived out his life in paradise. He was one of the lucky ones. If you want to donate, do so on the ES website. They take donations large and small and all are greatfully accepted. All donations are tax deductible, Ned passed in the arms of the loved ones who care for him at the end of his life. God bless him and the ES staff who cared so much for him.

[shiboof]

Oh, Neddie, we will never forget you. And in your name we will fight to free those still in need of sanctuary. Rest, honey, with no more pain.

[kellyasp52]

Ned and Bunny, I LOVE YOU!

[theroaringbutterfly]

Ned is majestic beyond this world. Each individual who went and gawked at him while performing and living under the oppressive and demeaning hands of his trainer is in my opinion personally responsible for his death.

[franklanguage]

So sad; animals deserve better and Ned had a chance at a better life. Rest in peace.

[Rakshaming]

RIP Ned.

[shalomcharlotte]

Rest in peace sweet Ned.

[LynnElizabeth]

Happy, happy freedom, Ned! Enjoy your new wonderful home; you - and all elephants - deserve nothing less. And keep eating!! We love you!

[TheOwlBerlin]

I hope people understand the importance of the work you are doing for these magnificent animals and i envy you for being so close to them.I know it 'll sound funny but i just wanted to hug Ned from the first instant i saw him just to show him that there are people who care.I wish you could keep him there permanently.

[steviethecat]

Keep bulking up Ned!!! We love you!!! Poor Ned wears his skin like a cheap suit because of the way he was starved. Thank God this sanctuary got him!!!

[Brysea]

The tears in my eyes are for you Ned. Enjoy the rest of your life in peace. And keep eating boy, all you want.

[lavender880]

I really like Ned's "theme music!" :)

[linshr10]

I am so sorry you are the result of mans greed for money that you ended up in the condition you are in..I hop your previous owner rots in hell and all those stupid ignorant people that watched you perform day in and day out and never did anything to get you out of that circus...shame on them........I sure hope you get better....and learn how to play...and be happy...you are in the right place for all these things to happen....

[quextico]

Happy New Year, Ned!! You're looking better, but you still need to bulk up. So glad to see you exploring your new (temporary) living arrangement -- don't worry, the wonderful folks at TES will make sure to find you the perfect place to live. Meanwhile, enjoy visiting with the ladies and all the TLC being lavished on you--you certainly deserve it!

[EnufAlready2006]

I paid for membership to this sanctuary. They need backing and do a very good job with these poor animals. Someone has to take care of them.

[Beaupedia]

Seeing Ned look directly at the camera really shows what this poor young animal has been through. I made my first donation to The Elephant Sanctuary today, I hope you consider doing the same.

[mlisaoverdrive]

This may be a stupid question, but what is wrong with his head?  It looks bony, or sunken...

[mlisaoverdrive]

Ignore the question above...just found Ned's bio which explained that he was found seriously underweight.

Very sad that he was so mistreated but very, very glad that he was found and rescued. Keep up the good work!

[lisalisa325]

We Love You Ned xoxo

Thank you TES :)

and thank you to the USDA fo doing the right thing...now keep going until you save them all, please!

[patriciafrances]

Your looking good Ned! that's all the TLC that Carol, Scott and your caregivers have lavished on you since your arrival! Not such a "skinny", now, keep putting on the pounds this year whilst strolling through your "beautiful Home"

[x6cute]

So adorable. He's so skinny, he needs to eat more!

[Beaupedia]

He was starved by his previous owner. He is now at the sanctuary being cared for.

[eiguoc]

Thank god there are good people around qwho still care about wildlife

[Latearrivalrocks]

Thank you for all the hard work all of you do. We are sooooo lucky to have people like you in this world. Our hearts are with Ned and all the other elephants. Great Work!!

[hugwildlife]

Others have already said it, but I will again: Enjoy your freedom,Ned, get better, put on weight and be happy.I love elephants. Thanks for sharing.

[shiboof]

Aw, Ned. So thrilled that you are where you are and for all of the lucky elephants who live with you. I recall when he first arrived he lifted his leg as if expecting that he had to 'perform'. No more, Neddie. Lift those legs to roam and enjoy your freedom. Bless TES.

[tracylv68]

I am so glad to see him doing so well. TY for your tender loving care to Ned and all the girls.
