Emotional abuse to elephants at The Elephant Sanctuary

Carol Buckley co-founded the Elephant Sanctuary with her life savings to give her own Elephant Tarra a natural home to retire in after raising her since Tarra was a baby. Carols devotion to Tarra and other elephants didn't stop there. Carol kept working to expand the sanctuary to the huge facility it is today. Carol recently launched Elephant aid International ( mission to assist elephants world wide) after being cruely forced out of her own joint brain child seperating her and Tarra without even visitation rights. Having met Tarra at their home in Ojai, Ca.this is what we witnessed. The family consisted of an unusual family Carol was the head of the house and mom to 1 year old baby Tarra, a bird and you guest it Tarra's best friend a dog. All of them happy in their family unit. The bird (trumped like an elephant) and because Tarra was to big for the house,  Carol took my children and I outside to see Tarra and the dog. Baby Tarra pet and picked up the dog in her trunk to hoist her into the air and gentally sat her down by her side as best friends at play time. Next we walked to the creek where Tarra took her bath and showered us from her trunk. This is why Tarra is different than other elephants who grew up with elephants. Tarras early condtioning was different. The Elephant Santuary says that elephants don't need people ever. It is impossible to guess as to how an elephant thinks unless you are one. The elephants on the santuary all paired up with a best friend elephants and Tarra did what was natural to her early conditioning and paired up with a dog named Bella as her best friend. An investigation of the Elephant Sanctuary needs to be launched.Those in authority need to stop trying to think like elephants and think humanely. Both animals and people are conditioned in early development and that make each of us different.
