Rescued Circus Elephant Reunited After 22 Years Apart(video)

Two elephants, both captured from the wild and transported miles from their true home, briefly met at a circus when one of them, Jenny, was a baby and the other, Shirley, was in her early twenties.

That’s when Shirley took on the role of baby Jenny’s mother in the circus before they were separated and forced in two different ways.

Over the years, Jenny suffered great torture and kept running away from her trainers during circus performances. Eventually, she was sent to the Hawthorn Corporation in Illinois for breeding purposes and in the process, she suffered a serious injury that left her limp for many years.
