The Elephant Sanctuary | Remembering Liz

[@superhappylucky]

Because of your organization, this beautiful elephant was allowed to live in joy and safety, and die with dignity and respect. If only they could all have this. Thank you.

[@SaunieHolloway]

What a wonderful place The Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee is. A place where she could just be an elephant. Liz is truly free now.

[@voice4helpless862]

It breaks my heart that it takes us so long to get them out of captivity to a wonderful place to live in peace. Why can't the rest of the world see we don't own them and have no business using them.

[@Modthra3000]

almost a decade at the Sanctuary...how fortunate for her to have been able to get there. :)

[@amyjohnson2144]

I am so happy she ended her life with you. I love to hear them chatter but I am saddened every time one of these beauties passes. Tears for you Liz RIP

[@Schminkles]

Farewell Liz, you'll be missed. I hope you meet up with your old friends in the great eternal Elefields. Thanks to all at the Sanctuary for providing a wonderful final act to Liz, and to her sisters. You are truly inspiring.

[@PatriceH]

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star-shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

first time ive ever heard a real elephant trumpet!...SO BEAUTIFUL..WE SHOULD BE SO ASHAMED OF OURSELVES!!!!!

[@spunrequited]

I am so very grateful for the Elephant Sanctuary taking Liz in and making the last years of her life the happiest she had ever known.

[@quextico]

Thank you all for taking such good care of this sweet girl. You truly made her last years worth living. You are all in my thoughts during this difficult time.

[@Dani68ABminus]

Sweet Liz passed away the day my Gracie girl did. She was a gentle giant just like Liz. It's solace to picture them playing with their friends and sisters that have gone before them...and although they are in a beautiful place right now, the heart still aches :(

[@Foxylady-gm2qq]

So happy that she had her final years at the sanctuary. I wish this was true for all elephants. God bless you for all that you do to save these wonderful animals. Tears.

[@asrotties]

I am so thankful that there is such a place for elephants who have suffered so much in captivity. Thank you all for giving Liz some good years filled with companionship of her friends and good care. RIP Liz

[@jameskinnear7586]

[@sharonspillman1528]

Beautiful girl gone too soon.

[@tinytina333]

RIP Liz... I'm glad she got to make friends and enjoy the final years of her life free and happy. She is with her herd in a better place now.

[@karennereau5572]

RIP Liz - I love watching the elephants on the elecams whether it's them taking a nap, eating or playing with each other. She had a good life at the sanctuary as do all the other elephants there.

[@cazpk6840]

So sad that she is no longer with us but also happy to know that she she was well looked after and loved. Thank you for taking care of them.

[@robynhalperin2624]

Thank you for all your love and care for such a sweet girl... now if we can get more of the hundreds of elephants suffering to your sanctuary

[@linmeisinger5014]

Elephant Sanctuary people. . . . .you're AWESOME. Thank you for loving, caring for and protecting these wonderful beings. R.I.P. Sweet Liz. . .

[@marybaker182]

My thoughts go to all the caregivers, vets, and staff. The elephants are all precious to you and to us but you feel this loss deeply, I know!

[@annettebarletta8014]

Sweet Liz was so fortunate to be surrounded by those who loved her at the end. It really is all that any being can ask. Rest in peace sweet Lizzie girl.

[@BadgleyTheBrave]

Rest in beautiful, tranquil peace, Sweet Liz. I hope your time at Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee dimmed the darker parts of your precious life, and that this will carry forward to where you are now. ♡♡♡ My deepest sympathy for those that took such amazing care of her, as well as her elephant pals. xoxo

[@msloanarts]

[@c120123]

RIP Pretty Liz. The Sanctuary is a wonderful place!

[@SeniorLassy]

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful elephant! I am so glad she had many years at the Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee! She was so happy there. Seems like her "mates" stayed very close to her those last few days. I think they may have a sixth sense, just like dogs. RIP sweet Liz! God bless all those who took such good care of her at the sanctuary. May be you be richly blessed in the work you do.

[@travelwithcompassion3517]

glad she was able to experience a real life for nine years and just be an elephant...thank you to all for your care and love.......it still breaks my heart that any elephant is abused and mistreated. I wish you could rescue more.....

[@fancydarlin1]

nine years in loving hands...she died happy.

[@cherylmorgan3140]

Rest in Peace Liz. Sorry for the way you were treated before your time at the sanctuary.Now you can truly be happy.

[@elizabethczepiel5220]

RIP Liz! At least you knew friends, love and freedom in the Sanctuary. Roam free forever xxx

[@tristatepickermom6895]

Rest in peace sweet Liz. My hearts goes out to her herd and caregivers.

[@cynthiamacdonald3347]

Dearest Liz, fly high sweet lady. Thank you to TES for all the wonderful love and care you gave Liz. You allowed her to live the rest of her life in peace.

[@Loweredexpectationss]

What a wonderful woman ! So sorry to you and yours for your loss but what a GREAT decade this old lady had. Just as I was playing this video, my old rescued cockatiel heard Liz's chirping and has adopted this noise as his own. Thanks for saying hello in my own home, Liz. May you be at peace old girl.

[@Tairaterces]

Rest in sweet peace Liz........ Condolences to all that cared for her.

"Happy LOVE&LIGHT Thoughts" to The Elephant Sanctuary ... RIP "Liz"

[@cambridgeratmom]

Oh, sweet Lizzy. You were one that captured my heart early on. I remember how very thin you were when you arrived and how, despite a partially paralyzed trunk, you got what you wanted. I send hugs and condolences from Cambridge MA.

[@vegannursepractitioner9629]

OMG, oh so sorry to hear, God Bless her in Heaven

rest in peace sweetheart

See You at the Rainbow Bridge xx

[@i.breunis8764]

On meaningful days like this it hurts again terribly that Carol Buckley, the co-founder of TES, would not be able to say goodbye to Liz as she has been banished from the TES grounds five years ago. Mrs. Buckley is abroad at the moment, but even if she had been at home in her house in Hohenwald, she would not have been permitted access to the grounds. All those five years she has not been permitted to see her beloved elephants again, not even Tarra, the elephant she took care for for some 35 years, the elephant whom she built the TES Sanctuary for in the first place. For the love of Liz, please, lift the ban, I beg you. For the love of all elephants in TES, I implore you to find a way to let Mrs. Buckley meet up with the TES elephants again. PLEASE, I beg you. Dear Liz, rest in peace. May the Lord bless you, may you see your family and friends again.
