Longleat has facilities to house Anne and provide her with a secure environment with the best possible veterinary care. At a meeting today Animal Defenders International (ADI), British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA), Born Free Foundation, Longleat, RSPCA and Specialist Wildlife Services, discussed the best options for this elderly elephant who has endured so much.
