In 2014, Born Free worked with Italian animal welfare organisation Lega Anti Vivisezione (LAV) to remove Elsa, along with several other animals including camels and horses, from a ramshackle circus in Sardinia after the circus owners faced an investigation for animal cruelty and were taken to court.
Born Free’s initial plan had been to relocate Elsa to our big cat sanctuary at Shamwari Private Game Reserve in South Africa, but after several visits and discussions with the staff at the sanctuary in Italy, it became apparent that Elsa was happy and thriving where she was. It was therefore in her best interest to remain at the sanctuary.
Elsa has had the worst possible start to life, but you can help can give her a life she deserves. Your generous gift will help fund Elsa’s lifetime care in Italy, including food, veterinary care, staff costs and enclosure upkeep.
