Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee

The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is the nation's largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants. It is a non-profit organization, licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and accredited by the Association of Sanctuaries, designed specifically for old, sick or needy elephants who have been removed from zoos and circuses. Utilizing more than 2700 acres, it provides three separate and protected, natural-habitat environments for Asian and African elephants. Our residents are not required to perform or entertain for the public; instead, they are encouraged to live like elephants.

I'm very pleased to see that Dulary was transfered from the Philadelphia Zoo to the Elephant Sanctuary. Hopefully one day soon all Elephants in zoo's and in the circus, can stop entertaining against their will, and enjoy life at the sanctuary.
