What a sweet story. :) Do you know how it came to be that Shirley had not seen another elephant in 20 years?

I'm an animal lover. And I make no bones about it.
This story left me with tears in my eyes. The sentiments of the elephant handler said it all --- she's free at last.
And the touching scene at the end with the elephants embracing each other with their trunks. It's worth watching.

His words were very touching.
"I don't know who was the first to put chains on her. I'm so glad that I will be the last to take them off of her...she's free at last."

More about Shirley. http://www.elephants.com/shirley/shirleystart.htm
The bio page explains why she was separated from other elephants, if anyone is interested.
She's led quite a life, even being held captive by Castro for a short time.
