FOUR PAWS rescues elephant herd in Zimbabwe

Under the cool breeze of the Zimbabwean night sky, FOUR PAWS International and South Africa together with partners ZNSPCA and NSPCA has transferred a group of rescued elephants to the Hwange National Park. The nine animals had been caught illegally in the wild and kept under atrocious conditions for months. During weeks of rehabilitation, the elephants who were ranging from two different herds originally regrouped around pregnant 20-year-old elephant cow Mary and became a stable and sound herd of its own. In the evening of November 2, the animals were finally taken to their new habitat: the Hwange National Park, located in the north west of the country. As morning dawned, a long ordeal ended for the nine elephants as they all wandered off together into a new life in freedom. Read the full article on http://www.vier-pfoten.org
