Coming up Friday at 7:30pm on Scene on 7: A Visit to the Center for Elephant Conservation


If you have ever been the the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus you have seen the biggest stars of the show, the Asian elephants. They are remarkable creatures and their involvement in the circus act has been met with plenty of criticism from animal activists, so when I was invited by Feld Entertainment and the Ringling Brothers Center for Elephant Conservation to come and learn more about where these animals come from I was thrilled.

Friday night on Scene on 7, you will see where some of these Asian elephants are born, cared for, trained, and retire. The Center for Elephant conservation is located in Central Florida in an undisclosed location–it is rare for cameras to be allowed on the compound.

You will also find out how the CEC is playing a role in saving the Asian elephants. I hope you will watch—-I also get up close and personal to some of my new friends. See you guys Friday night at 7:30 only on channel 7- Scene on 7
