In 1995, she and Scott Blais founded The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, an 800-acre preserve that is now home to seven retired circus and zoo elephants.
It is our experience that if elephants are not dominated and their basic needs are met -- food, companionship, freedom of movement, and a sense of security -- they are cooperative and nonaggressive.
Here at the Sanctuary, we like to take our lead from the elephants themselves -- which is why we are not open to the public, although computer users can take a tour on the World Wide Web, and we can arrange teleconferences for school children.
