Lulu's progress from an insecure and isolated elephant to a fully integrated member of the PAWS African group has been, as Pat says, "our biggest success story." <br /><br />Click Lulu's picture to view the story.<br /><br />During his visit, Tom also met Nicholas, the young Asian bull, and included an interview with Ed Stewart on the plight of captive bulls and PAWS' critical role as the only US sanctuary willing to accept them.<br /><br />The story is an excellent launching point for our campaign, "A Buck for Bulls."<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">Too often, the lives of captive bull elephants consist of isolation, deprivation, abuse and neglect.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A Buck for Bulls gives YOU a way to help. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">PAWS’ ARK 2000 is the only U.S. sanctuary offering refuge to bull elephants. If 100 people donate one dollar we can build almost a foot of habitat on bull mountain at ARK 2000. </span><br /></blockquote><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">Captive bull elephants are in peril. Their need is urgent. We must construct 5,000 feet of fencing right away.
