WHERE ARE THEY NOW ???
I'm not certain whether I posted this exact image before....I'll look shortly and delete if I have done so. But as I was looking through some of my animal images, I stopped once again to admire not my image, but the beautiful animals themselves. I took this (and several other images) photo when the Barnum and Bailey Circus toured Atlanta, Georgia last year. I did so because I knew that the circus had finally given-in to pressure and had decided to stop taking the elephants on tour....and thus subjecting them to small cages and trailers for most of their lives.
I wonder now if they have actually made it to the 'sanctuary' that the Circus was advising. Let's hope they are living in a less stressful and more spacious and natural environment somewhere in Florida. Does anyone know??
