- An elephant sanctuary is a place where elephants can live in peace and safety. They are often rescued from circuses, zoos, or other places where they have been mistreated. In a sanctuary, elephants have the opportunity to roam freely, socialize with other elephants, and receive the care they need.
There are many reasons why elephants should be in sanctuaries. First, elephants are social animals and need to be around other elephants. In the wild, elephants live in herds of up to 100 individuals. In a sanctuary, they can form new bonds with other elephants and experience the companionship that they crave.
Second, elephants are intelligent animals and need to be challenged mentally and physically. In a sanctuary, they have the opportunity to forage for food, play, and learn new skills. This helps to keep them mentally and physically healthy.
Third, elephants are sensitive animals and need to be treated with respect. In a sanctuary, they are not forced to perform tricks or give rides. They are allowed to be themselves and live their lives in peace.
