having aspergers compels me to inform you that its no heaven, just the best place on earth for them. the fences dont stop predators. no elephant has been physically harmed that i know of
I only wish that Zoos would release all there elephants to parks and sanctuary’s like this one. There are so many that only have a small enclosure to move around in. When you see some of these enclosure’s it really makes me cry. You know they are in distress, by the way they shake there heads from side to side. I can see it. Why, oh why cant the zoo management see it. Well done from an animal lover in the UK.
I won't go to zoos, circuses, they are cruel. I was 15 was at my home town zoo, stood for 20 minutes off in the background was a panther. He paced back and forth, back and forth. When I leave I look over my shoulder and she was still doing it. I never went back never, cruel slow insanity
I love these beautiful souls,damn anyone who hurts these beautiful souls,special place in he'll who hurts any animals,God bless the humans who help all living souls,we all have souls ,God gave all living creatures souls ,not just humans unfortunately some humans have lost theirs!
What you people have accomplished and what you do is so so SO amaizing, I love each and every one of you! We shouldnt need sanctuaries, but unforunatly, we do, and you folks have built a heaven on earth for elephants, and that so impessive, i wish i could work there, I'd move tomorrow, you are all rock stars and angels!
Don't worry, TES and PAWS are taking great care of the Elephants, No Chains, No Bullhooks & Electric Shock Devices, No physical abuse with hands and feet, no nothing. These two official Sanctuaries are doing their jobs and letting Elephants be Elephants TES's Website: www.elephants.com/ Even watch the Elephants when they're on the live cameras here: www.elephants.com/elecam PAWS: www.pawsweb.org/ If only Tyke the Elephant were still alive today then she would be happy at PAWS or TES. R.I.P Tyke, you didn't deserve to be in Circus Life but you're finally at peace.
Thank you for your commentary on The Elephant Sanctuary and rescuing these poor, cruelly-treated, beautiful beings and giving them a lovely, safe, natural place in which to live!
I remember Shirley and Jenny reunited when there was only 2 elephants. It made me cry so much, since it turned me into ele lovers, I love all animals now. Animals are forever forgiving and spiritual beings. I am so glad that they were able to take more elephants. Noisy needs to be here too.
THANK YOU 😢 THANK YOU to the CARERS, VOLUNTEERS and the public, whom DONATE .... to help these MAJESTIC ANIMAL S ❤🎉❤🎉 Thank you to the SANCTUARY S , that rescue ELEPHANT S , from the awful LIFE they endured 😢 Also the ORGANISATIONS that dedicated their life , to protect these BEAUTIFUL CREATURES 😢❤ May they continue their JOURNEY OF LIFE , in PEACE ..... in the BEATUIFUL SANCTUARY 😂❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Those gorgeous creatures God Bless those angles. We need them, we all owe it to the elephants. We've done them so wrong in the past. Remember, we live in there world not the other way around. THANK YOU
I did not know elephants could get tuberculosis. So happy they're getting treatment. God bless this sanctuary and it's staff. You're still beautiful Shirley 🐘
Happy SEVENTYth Birthday, sweet Shirley!! What a true testament to the Elephant Sanctuary’s amazing Efforts to successfully rehabilitate these poor forsaken e,ephants who were suffering in silence before the sanctuary rescued them from zoos or circuses. GID BLESS YOU ALL!
One of the most humane operations I have ever seen. How did the endeavor ever come about? This must be unbelievably expensive. If I were a multimillionaire I would probably try to involve. Huge endeavor.🐘🐘🐘🐘👍🏻🇺🇸
I understand that Asian Elephants are kept separated from African elephants. But what happens if they do interact? Do they fear one another? From what I have read I understand that they are quite distantly separate genetically. For example, Asian elephants are more close genetically to a Wooly Mammoth than they are to an African Elephant. This is something I would like to know more about.
Pachyderms, canines, felines, bovines, all 4 legged beings are ALL about Love so forgiveness comes easily! Fantastic job staff! Any word/clips on Nosey please?
Thank you for all that you do. So very happy to see the animals enjoying their lives. Question why do the different species have a different amount of Acres of which to Rome? Do they not all get along?
I think they're wrong about 'forgiveness'. Or, they apply it generally and inappropriately. I think elephants are smart enough to remember exactly who has wronged them directly and never forgives those people. They are intelligent enough to make that distinction and recognize where one person is here to help or be friendly, compared to that asshole that whipped me when I was 12, 37 years ago is within trunk range and I'm gonna throttle the bastard...
why aren't the ellie cams not available to the public online? i would like to watch them from the comfort of my home and you could set up a donations tab on the site where you can watch them. it would be a great channel.
It's wonderful, but it seems like the number of elephants is decreasing rather than increasing. I wish ES was more aggressive in trying to rescue elephants and bring them to Tennessee.
+ted1091 TES depends on zoos & circuses being willing to give up their elephants, which is rare because they are considered financial assets to the families/companies/cities/counties that have purchased them. The ones that are still of breeding age are almost never handed over because they are moneymakers for zoos. The Nashville Zoo, an AZA-accredited facility, just announced 2 African elephants will be sent to TES by November 2015. So, times may be changing. Zoos like young elephants because their admission goes up with baby animals. Maybe the TES herds will grow as elephants age at other zoos & circuses, and need somewhere to go.
Those barriers are for directional and separation purposes only. They direct the elephants from the barns down to the pastures where the only fencing is around the outside perimeter. Needed or the elephants would go into private property or endanger themselves. The separation is important for African from Asian elephants. They naturally do not interact, and doing so would lead to fighting. Also, male from female are separated for the elephants to be able to live a more peaceful life. Bulls go into musth, and they become very aggressive. 2700 acres is over 4 sq. miles, so it is very large. For all intents and purposes free.
Are any of these elephants young enough to breed? Young seem to be very important in their natural social structures, so is there ever a chance that these girls can have or adopt young animals to raise?
Young elephants, male and female, live with the "girls" until age 4 or 5 I believe. The young males then go off to live with the group of adult males. In adulthood, elephants segregate themselves by gender.
Laws need to stop circus animals.,but until jesusChrist sets his gvt on earth, unlikely. Hope is wealthy will bring the wild elephants, to countries in safe acres to roam. Didn't BobBarket help?
agree ,now look what we put family's through in America- anew mother must leave her baby at 8 weeks old to go back to work!1 Her baby is left often to strangers with a good web-site they do not know haw the baby is feeling! this is done even on Sundays so we need to rethink a lot of things like in WHY do we the very private bankers of the federal reserve interest daily for our own money???

Just a guess, could easily be wrong, but the letter b is next to the letter v on the keyboard. Benson could be venson, which in turn would have been a misspelled venison. ???
God bless all of you that care for these gentle giants. I just read the book "Leaving Time" and I was awakened to the lives and stories of Elephants. God bless them for being so forgiving of humans.
Cetaceans seem to be forgiving, as well. Amazing when we consider the track record of humans towards them. Praying humanity rises to thwart the sixth great extinction that looms. So many innocent creatures to save. Paz y luz. 🌊🐳🌍🐘💙🙏
If an elephant wants to go jump in the lake let em . They look so happy. Bless your hearts for the good work that you do. I love elephants. Beautiful animals.
If I was not disabled and living on $1000 a month, I would come live with the elephants and contribute in so many ways. They are just amazing creatures and you all are the BEST people in the world.
Exactly no wild animal deserves to be locked in a cage. It's sadly all about MONEY, profits people can make. Bears are captured & their baby's dragged away from them at a tender age. Most Mother bears are shot & the baby bear is taken & forced to live in a cramped cage so human tourists can take photos etc. Many are beaten to do tricks & dance to entertain also. Riding elephants seems to be all the trend with celebritys on holiday in Asian country's. The poor elephants are beaten into submission & hooks used to prod them. Worked to death in shifting logs in forestrys also. All types of wild animals have & are still being used by man in cruel ways. Some people are very sick & cruel where animals are concerned it would be such a wonderful world if animals didn't suffer & were allowed to be themselves & free. 🍪pocket (England)
There is a so called "sanctuary" for elephants in Arkansas. All it is, is more elephants being controlled with bull hooks and don't live a free life. It's just another man making himself feel important being able to control something bigger than himself. These elephants live a sad existence and wish they was there with you.
Just like Ringling's "Conservation" Camp here in Florida, they claim it's a sanctuary as well but really it's a puppy mill Breeding Farm and Concentration Prison Camp for Elephants. Still the same owners which are Ringling and Feld Entertainment, Same Trainers after their Circus Closed down and transferred to the Camp, Still on Chains and Concrete Floors, Forced Breeding *"aka RAPE and yes, they're getting away with Rape at the age of 14 or younger for the Elephants,"* Taking the baby away from the Elephant as soon it's born, Still using Training Equipment, Very Small Enclosures, Regular Beatings when no ordinary citizen, USDA agent and or Veterinary are around to see everything behind the scenes and hiding their electric shock devices and cleverly hiding their bullhooks *"Oh, my mistake, they call them GUIDES,"* while someone other than the worker is around, Training Elephants for Circus Stunts while blaring some rock music at max volume so that no one can hear the Elephant Screaming in pain, Still lying that the Elephants are in great condition, lying that the Elephants are used for Research purposes and or dancing and etc.
Madden 8021 PLEASE PLEASE REPORT THIS "RINGLINGS CONSERVATION" CAMP IN FLORIDA. I beg of you those poor poor elephants are suffering & being driven mad. Please report as soon as you can. If you have evidence present as much as you can. 🍪pocket England.
Lisa is happy to be sane. You commented 1 year ago on a santuary for elephants in Arkansas that was treating their elephants badly. Controlled with bull hooks & living very sad lives etc... under controls of keepers & not living free lives. If you have evidence of this so called santuary mistreating these beautiful elephants could you Please, Please report your finding to the nessasary authority's. Please help if you can, let's stop the abuse & cruelty to these endangered magestic forgiving animals. Thank you 🍪pocket (England)
Shirley broken leg breaks my heart! What kind of cruel so called " human" allows that kind of injury to NOT BE TREATED. I think Shirley has passed on now, God Bless this Sanctuary.😇🙏❤
I attain great joy from seeing this... I have been an advocate for anti zoo's, anti circus and anti cruelty for the vast majority of my 58 years. I have travelled a lot and seen the horrors of human contact with animals... And when the visual memories of those horrors arise in my head at night I love coming here ....to your site. Seeing the simple, yet powerful actions of compassion and empathy and the beauty of caring (which is a challenging part of our humanity), makes me feel there is hope. I have in my life been lucky enough to witnessed an elephant charge, I have watched a mother Ele grieve the loss of her calf and also witnessed the horrors of humanity using animals for fake medicinal purposes and for share ...diabolical pleasure. A pox on all of those ppl lol. The airing of your vids helps however... . it does occasionally shake my faith in humanity, but I guess thats just me .....However, the respite you give to me, from the work you do with the sanctuary, for Ele's resonates with a sense of hope and conviction within me.... and I find that priceless...It also helps me sleep at night knowing we aren't "all" bad...thank you ... ;)
They are just all soooo beautiful. We do not deserve these beauties. We don't deserve their forgiveness but hopefully we can try to earn that back steadily.
🤣❤lmao check out the girl @3:08!!😆❤lmao shes like-oh yea, im getting muh snack time in, and i..i think ill drag muh tire along with me down to the pond to go visit with muh bff Shirley, or sumthin😆❤👊🤣lmao she really made me laugh! Lol❤ Theyre truly are such sweet souls (based off whst ive seen online, ive never personally known an elephant, however it is a dream i have to go see em in their natural habitat in Africa❤🤞). Theyre one of the very few animals on our planet who deal with the exact same emotions humans deal with. It blows my mind when i imagine the MILLIONS of animals on Earth, n then wrangle the idea of only 4or5 us having the same feelings😳🤯thats pretty substantial if ya think about it. Prime mates, dogs n dolphins r the other select few who have r same emotions. Funny ehh? When ppl wanna explore or inspect another animal...its usuallyv1 of these listed. Most of us have dogs. Idk, but smh God did a pretty amazing job! Idt its coincidental that these animals r the ones we're drawn to, or are drawn to each other
So, here's us freezin our asses off up here in Canada eh, and these funky 'phants are livin' large down there in Tennessee. I don't suppose they can get out on Derby Day but hell it looks like paradise to me. You go, girls! I love these characters. (Yeah, I know it's the Kentucky Derby but you sayin' a elephant couldn't walk over there from Tennessee? There's even one wearing a funny hat made of grass. They're into it I tell ya!)
This is pure heaven! And no predators!.....Love the space given to them! They all seem to be smiling....amazing place for amazing animals....

A couple of years ago I was camping in Hohenwald. Just knowing that someplace close by were all these elephants roaming around was pretty special.
I love these beautiful souls,damn anyone who hurts these beautiful souls,special place in he'll who hurts any animals,God bless the humans who help all living souls,we all have souls ,God gave all living creatures souls ,not just humans unfortunately some humans have lost theirs!

It's wonderful, but it seems like the number of elephants is decreasing rather than increasing. I wish ES was more aggressive in trying to rescue elephants and bring them to Tennessee.

How wild are they with those barriers all over the place tho...

I wish, some day, that elephants won't have anything to have to forgive us for.
I hope you have some babies there to live out their lives free to be elephants

This is very wonderfil. Do they tolerate wi yet well
Humans have traditionally been so inhuman to our four-legged brethren. This is a start at reparation.
Hopefully our country will put an end to company’s using elephants for money .

Why would people want to lock these or any animals in a cage for. They belong in nature whether in places like this or in the wild.

Theyre truly are such sweet souls (based off whst ive seen online, ive never personally known an elephant, however it is a dream i have to go see em in their natural habitat in Africa❤🤞). Theyre one of the very few animals on our planet who deal with the exact same emotions humans deal with. It blows my mind when i imagine the MILLIONS of animals on Earth, n then wrangle the idea of only 4or5 us having the same feelings😳🤯thats pretty substantial if ya think about it. Prime mates, dogs n dolphins r the other select few who have r same emotions. Funny ehh? When ppl wanna explore or inspect another animal...its usuallyv1 of these listed. Most of us have dogs. Idk, but smh God did a pretty amazing job! Idt its coincidental that these animals r the ones we're drawn to, or are drawn to each other
So, here's us freezin our asses off up here in Canada eh, and these funky 'phants are livin' large down there in Tennessee. I don't suppose they can get out on Derby Day but hell it looks like paradise to me. You go, girls! I love these characters. (Yeah, I know it's the Kentucky Derby but you sayin' a elephant couldn't walk over there from Tennessee? There's even one wearing a funny hat made of grass. They're into it I tell ya!)
