A truck specially designed for Denmark's heaviest pensioners - the four former circus elephants - drove up the avenue of Knuthenborg Safari Park on last week, marking the end of an era. Elephants will no longer be held in Danish circuses. 

Christoffer Knuth, director of Park said that it is important now for the elephants to get used to 'just being elephants'.

The four elephants have moved on to their retirement lives in Knuthenborg Safari Park where they will be able to perform natural behavior in a 140,000 m2 savanna-like plant.

Thank you for this wonderful news when we currently seem so plagued with bad ones.

Yes it is good news. Before Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus closed they use to walk them into Manhattan through one of the traffic tunnels.  When the show came to Meadowslands Sports Complex, less than a mile from my house, they allowed anyone to shovel all the dung they could carry for free. Being vegetarians is was great for the garden :) So cute how they would hold tails.
