This album is dedicated to these elephants -- the controversial "Sandhurst Orphans", who the NSPCA claim were illegally and inhumanely removed from their mothers. For a bit of clarity and perspective on the matter, people need to be aware of the full story and facts behind what is becoming a prolonged and unjustified attack on the Knysna Elephant Park and its owners. The facts are that they came from a hunting ranch and were due to be culled. With the permission of the relevant authorities, legal permits were issued for these 4 young elephants to be rehomed instead of culled.
Amid allegations of abuse, inhumane treatment and confined spaces, we felt that rather than try and explain in words the environment these elephants now enjoy we would post a video of them -- as they say a picture paints a thousand words!
