Edie
Freed to Sanctuary
Edie is an African elephant who was held at the Zoo Knoxville in Knoxville, TN until she was freed to sanctuary. She was born in the wild 40 years ago. Edie was confined with 1 other elephant, who still suffers from Zoo Knoxville’s lack of sufficient space and from being unable to engage in their natural behaviors.

A future where no elephant has to endure the traumas of being torn from their families and natural habitats, bred against their will, and shipped from zoo to zoo is possible, and we need your help to make it a reality.
