Remember the Hawthorn Elephants? Last year, they rescued eight
of the remaining ten elephants from the evil Hawthorn Corp...
Minnie, Lottie, Queenie, Ronnie, Debbie, Billie, Freida and Liz
have found their forever home at The Elephant Sanctuary (TES)
in Tennessee and have been renamed The Divas.
The other two elephants, Nic and Gypsy, stayed behind at Hawthorn
because TES doesn't take male elephants. Gypsy was kept to keep
poor Nic company. Hawthorn wasn't allowed to make make money off
them, and I assume that Gypsy and Nic have been chained to the
floor of a warehouse for the past year. :`(
But this will change soon! PAWS, Performing Animal Welfare Society,
has decided to give Nic and Gypsy a home!!
I am so happy and excited!
PAWS are good people, and I'm sure Nic and Gypsy will have a
great life there! Yay!

The Divas have all arrived at TES. This is my entry about them,

Yay! Be sure to check out the awesome
EleCam!
PAWS
Yay! Please consider donating here. Nic and Gypsy will be arriving
at the "old" PAWS elephant facility at the end of March... but PAWS
is going to be building a new habitat at the ARK2000 site
and they need help to make that happen!
