PLEASE AnimalLuvR, stop spreading the lie! Riddle''s horrible operation is egregiously abusive and unspeakably cruel. It is NOT a "sanctuary," but IS a money-making machine off the backs of tortured animals who have far more intelligence than Scott Riddle was ever born with. Those who profit from animal suffering do so because they can''t make an honest living.

Compliments of Yerfren7:

As always, your show has done a masterful job of telling the story of the elephants in retirement. What a wonderful way to start the morning. The kindness of some humans is beyond words. Thank you Sunday Morning for showing the good in humanity.

Thank you CBS for doing a piece on one of the wonderful elephant sanctuaries in the US. We need more programs like this to educate folks on the plight of captive elephants and why we NEED elephant sanctuaries.

And, OMG, I can''t even believe that Scott Riddle''s "sanctuary" in Arkansas is even being brought up in the context of a sanctuary. There are only TWO bona fide elephant sanctuaries in the US: The Elephant Sanctuary and The Performing Animal Welfare Society. Please do some research on the horrors that Riddle has inflicted on elephants. Here are a few websites where you can start:

http://www.captiveanimals.org/elephants/epp.htm
These links should get you started. You can google "Scott Riddle" and get even more information.

Please support both of the bona fide sanctuaries. They are both doing a fabulous job of rescuing elephants from the abusive life in the circus and from zoos that have been keeping them in totally inadequate living spaces which have led to an early and painful death from foot infections, arthritis, and finally osteomyelitis.

What a great piece. Thank you for highlighting this wonderful animal sanctuary. I urge you to do more animal-friendly pieces, including providing information to the public about the horrors of zoos and circuses. Keep up the good work.
