Tina the Elephant

Tina the Elephant from Vancouver will retire at the Elephant Sanctuary
May 31, 2003After a concerted effort by people in British Columbia and around the world, Tina will not longer be going to be retiring at Bowmanville zoo.
In the world of captivity there is seldom a happy ending for the animals that perform for our entertainment. However, in this case Tina will be going to one of the only sanctuaries in the world that can look after her well being (mentally and physically).
Tina, was almost always referred to as "the ailing Asian elephant," is now headed to a blissful place, far from bullhooks, zoos and circuses.
