Discussion on Elephants
Please feel free to comment on this post to continue the discussion about elephants. Thanks!
Thanks Katie for setting this up. I've added a link below (which I hope works)that discusses captive elephants and stress. On page 3 the paper talks about the therapeutic work done at the Elephant Sanctuary to try to give the elephants back some of their autonomy so that they can begin to feel confident again after their ordeals. My apologies for not being current on the implementation of protected contact at WPZ.
