July 4, 2025 at 4:39 pmBeyond exciting news!! African Queen 2 can say so long to the awful concrete pit and hello soon to (hopefully) a new friend Pupy in your new home. Thank you for the update and I will be watching every minute for updates and progress! Safe travels and thank you to everyone for all you do, it is incredible and so wonderful!! ❤️🐘❤️
Marcia says
July 4, 2025 at 4:40 pmThank you, Scott and all, for sharing this fabulous moment in elephant history with us. I think when people hear the word “zoo”, they think of U.S. zoos and don’t realize the damage being done to the foot pads and psyches of these poor captive creatures. Can’t wait to watch Kenya emerge from her crate at Sanctuary!
Sara says
July 4, 2025 at 4:51 pmThe last zoo study, done by zoos, found the same damage is caused in most zoos as well.

EA says
July 4, 2025 at 10:57 pmThis is awesome news. I’m so thrilled for Kenya, and can’t wait to see how she and Pupy get along.
Susana says
July 6, 2025 at 5:23 amVery happy Kenya is finally on her way to sanctuary. I’ve been following the sanctuary for a few years by now and it is great to see that elephants put their trust in people and are able to do this trip without sedatives. On the contrary, they are happy to stay in their crates for hours after arrival.
I hope now that Sandro is allowed to do the much shorter trip from Sorocaba. Sadly Tamy, though he was being trained and things were being arranged for a future relocation, was not able to make it and died in captivity.
Wishing all the best to the teams that are giving a great example of what it means working as a single team with a purpose.
