Ringling Brothers phasing out circus elephants by 2018

Great news! There was so much documented animal abuse, and elephants are a treasure which is now becoming scarce.

Ford1224 has a thread about this, too! I'll add my post from there. Thanks, gardensla, for bring more attention to this.

Wonderful news! Thanks for posting this, Ford!

I want to give a shoutout to a wonderful organization in Tennessee, one which is dedicated to providing a safe, loving habitat for those beautiful animals who can't really "go home" but who have been rescued from or retired by zoos, circuses:

Read about them! link: http://www.elephants.com/index.php

or search for "The Elephant Sanctuary"

I didn't scroll down far enough to see other post about this.

Oh well. Better to over-share good news, right?

I totally agree, gardensla! It would be easy to miss her thread, anyway, because the title isn't specific.

Thanks, again, for spreading the good news!

Good, they should phase out other animals too from circuses and zoos. Animals like those shouldn't be penned up!

I agree...it's about time ....happy for the elephants and I hope they enjoy their new life! They deserve it.

Now there's a legitimate charity. I'm betting that it's one to safely donate (to).
