Pole Pole - Our Inspiration

"We will always keep her in our hearts, and keep our promise that her tragic death will never be in vain." - Virginia McKenna OBE
Today we remember Pole Pole, a special captive elephant who died 38 years ago today. 🐘

What an utterly sad life Pole Pole has lived, at least with specks of compassion and love from the Sheldricks and the McKenna-Travers … 😢🐘

Heartbreaking story though a wonderful legacy, thank you McKenna-Travers and the Sheldricks for everything you began xx

Sad, sad story. Unfortunately, we are no better than the worst of us. What comforts me is the belief that Pole-Pole's spirit is roaming free in another dimension of reality.

I am so very sad, such a tragic story and so unfair. Many zoos or animal prisons as they should be called have not changed at all.
