link to 20/20 Great Elephant Feature...must see!

[Guest guest]

This was on last night...excellent. At our circus protest/demo today, there were not near as many cars as last

year. I wonder if a lot of people saw 20/20 last night and decided not

to go. I sure hope so!http://www.abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5435466 & page=1YOU HAVE GOT TO CHECK THIS OUT: Part 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GhxKnys7RywPart 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7sRiH_Owq9UPart 3: http://youtube.com/watch?v=N8U9dw-9U4E--- On Fri, 7/25/08, In Defense of Animals <takeaction wrote:In Defense of Animals <takeactionWatch "20/20" on ABC Friday July 25 - Great Elephant Feature"kerri milam" <kerrimilamFriday, July 25, 2008, 12:03 PM

ABC Friday July 25

We Expect A Great Elephant

Feature!

According to an

article posted on the ABC News website, viewers will be in

for a treat tonight when ABC's 20/20 dedicates a third of the

show to an in-depth look at elephants, including studying

elephants living in captivity for signs of post-traumatic stress

disorder. Our friends at The Elephant Sanctuary will be

featured, as will other pioneers advancing our understanding of

elephants.

Here is an excerpt from the ABC News article about

the 20/20 story:

"Something revolutionary is happening in the

flatlands of

Tennessee . Deep roars can be

heard through trees that shield neighbors from an unlikely

sight, one that is hidden from the main roads. A kind of asylum

exists for previously dangerous or deprived elephants in

captivity, now living the rest of their lives here in the

semi-wild. Driving past the perimeter fences, an awareness that

huge animals are nearby and unseen evokes comparisons to

Jurassic

Park , but with a

therapeutic mission. The Elephant Sanctuary, a private nonprofit

organization in

Hohenwald ,

Tenn. , spans 2,700 acres of

forests and spring-fed ponds. This is a last refuge for

elephants broken by humans, and they are here to heal. But doing

so requires the elephants' ultimate act of trust in

humans. On a recent visit, ABC News correspondent

Elizabeth Vargas was chaperoned inside the gates to discover an

intimate world."

We hope you can find the

time tonight to watch or tape what should be an

extraordinary feature. Then visit http://www.helpelephants.com to
