Carol Buckley–Co-founder and executive director of The Elephant Sanctuary

Co-founder and executive director of The Elephant Sanctuary, Carol Buckley discusses her nearly 30 years with Tarra (the Asian elephant she started working with as a college student) and how those experiences & stages of development with Tarra–while traveling extensively, working in circuses, zoos & elsewhere, etc.–led to realizing that Tarra & others like her really shouldn’t live that life, but should live like elephants, as they now do at the 2700-acre Elephant Sanctuary, located not far from Nashville.  [www.elephants.org]
