Susan Basford Quotes

"We try to create an intimate experience for our guests and to encourage them to care about exotic animals and places and to develop a conservation ethic; that's really what we're here to do. Seeing elephants is a big part of that."

"We have no intention of sending these animals to a sanctuary. I don't know why we would. I think a sanctuary is appropriate for old, sick, needy elephants."

"That's why we encourage people not to feed the animals. Maybe a better education program is needed."
