It would be nice if she can go to Brazil to the sanctuary.


How was she abandoned?

 

Annie the elephant was another victim of the stupid law that prohibited circus animals in Mexico with no measures as to where the animals would go. Who would pay to send Annie abroad ? Not the mexican government, who has many restrictions on spending. The best and most practical solution is to send Annie to either Leon zoo or Guadalajara zoo, both of which are fine zoos which have kept and hold african elephants..

 

so they just walked away and left Annie?

Global elephant sanctuary could help with the transport costs if either zoo doesn’t work out.
