The website for ABC's show 20/20 has a beautiful connected with tomorrow night's, Friday July 25, show. The web story is headed, "'They're Like Us,' Elephant Researchers Say. From Kenya to Tennessee, Elephants With PTSD Symptoms Are Finding Some Peace."
20/20 airs on ABC Friday at 10pm.
The on line article discusses the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder common in elephants who've seen their mothers shot in front of them, and who've been shipped out of Africa for lives in captivity. It includes wonderful quotes about the misery of elephants in zoos, or those taken from their mothers, as babies, to give rides to tourists.
You'll find the on line story at
