She explains that female elephants in the wild travel and live together without the males. Many of the elephants adopted have been terribly mistreated and older - some even had TB so they were very ill when they came to her (as are the ones adopted by PETS) so it is not surprising that some have died. I do believe that there are many well-loved and well-cared for animals in captivity, but the zoos and facilities that had these animals were often cited for housing animals in terrible living conditions.honeydonthinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420528776015286237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403448505373288413.post-25729459138775626152008-04-28T20:06:00.000-07:002008-04-28T20:06:00.000-07:00The Elephant Sanctuary has had seven elephants die...The Elephant Sanctuary has had seven elephants die prematurely in their care. The founder of the sanctuary was considered one of the crueliest elephant handlers by circus and zoo experts. By the time the 90's rolled in she had so many problems with circuses and zoos she needed to start her own place or else she would be out of work. She has made herself a nice little buisness out of those poor elephants. If she ran a true sanctuary she'd accept all elephants.Logan Jacothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563871814966813004noreply@blogger.com
