- The Toronto elephants arrival at PAWS' ARK 2000 sanctuary in San Andreas, CA.
At approximately 5:30 p.m. PST, the caravan arrives with the first truck carrying Toka and Iringa. The truck carrying Thika arrives a short time later.
The crane that will unload the elephants is waiting outside the African barn.
Toka is the first elephant to be unloaded.

Thank you, people of Canada for thinking of the best interests of these animals. Bless you for giving them a better life ! To the vet in Edmonton, SHAME on you and all of your excuses !
I hope other countries or places follow this wonderful movement of getting elephants to safe sanctuaries like this one. They all deserve to be happy and healthy. Without having to workout be someone's entertainment. To be able to live the rest of their lives in peace and to be elephants.
The first thing she does after stepping off the truck is take a bath! A dust bath! Love her!
Thank you Bob Barker....I know how you tried so hard to rescue Lucy.
I'm a teen in my senior year of high school (Maryland,, USA) and 4 years ago in middle school I did a project/paper on these 3 Torronto Elephants in my Sociall Science class--Their story had hugh emotional impact on my class then. I and my classmates have been following their story ever since!! happy there is a happy ending
So brave = Their lives have been sad and confusing but STILL they love and trust = THANK YOU ELEPHANT ANGELS
Amen to Bob Barker for taking them out the bitter cold north. I live in the bitter cold north so I know all too well the winters can be brutal.
Bob Barker also came out here to Edmonton Alberta with the hopes to free Lucy at the Edmonton Valley zoo. Sadly 😥she is still there living in isolation. My heart totally breaks every day I think of her.
Also it's minus 30 these days so she is kept in her barn .this is criminal
She needs to go to the sanctuary and live free with friends and family of her own kind. 😥😭😢😭
@@patriciat5323 Maybe if Bob Barker contacted someone like Cher, she helped with the release of
Kavaan in Pakistan, use high profile celebrities to get the message out there, it's very sad.
@@majesticworld255 Maybe this place needs to get a hold of Cher and then she can be saved
Thank You Bob Barker! Your wonderful work will never be forgotten!!!
This is a victory this arrival at Paws! Congratulations to all the team!
2021 and I am STILL re watching that journey! Best ever viewing ..:-) And I am thankful for all involved year after year. What a place for them ! What a life! Please Keep rescuing more elephants....they have not much time left...
I can’t even begin to imagine the fear and terror they must have felt…..very thankful they have finally come home ❤️
So Beautiful and Majestic. I Love Elephants 🐘🐘🐘
Makes my heart warm knowing they are free!
Wonderful to see how calm the elephants were. The crew so careful and patient
Stop screaming elephants have acute hearing, they will be all the more anxious.
They cry and get sad ,so happy to see them have some peace.thankyou.
Look at her dust! So happy for those girls!
Awesome job, folks! Six years later and I hear the girls are doing fantastic. Thank you! (This is not Thailand, in case some of the complainers haven't figured that out.) Thank you for giving them a wonderful forever home!
Omg thank you All . When the trucks came up the hill I wonder what were the elles thoughts, their emotions, their curiosity, their body language to know the difference of the turns and stop and go and to smell a different climate oh how my ♥is so happy. Wish I could of been there would of hugged everyone! !!
Elephants rule!!! My fav since I was a kid, I’m 48 these days.❤️❤️❤️
What a precious job you do, you are lucky, please save maximum of animals
Wonderful time! Thanks so much to Bob Barker!
She has to powder her nose to look ready for the camera. What a sweet and cooperative girl she is, after all that travel.
Thank you all so so much 😊❤️
Just never get tired of watching this!
They try and hurry the elephants, but the elephants are probably thinking "i'd better smell like something local before i meet the locals" so they dust themselves. They need to be patient with the elephants.
Banana Rustler
Seems you know elephants! BUT, I suspect Toka is a girl, so it might equally have been, "I need to freshen my makeup before I meet the locals!" In either case, yes they need to be patient. But, the handlers had two more elephants to unload also and it was almost dark. Perhaps you can forgive the handlers - they knew what she was about to find in her habitat and knew the rushing would be forgiven. But omg she is a beauty!
wonderful
More please! So wonderful to see!
This was such an epic first few steps backwards in to her new life and an absolutely different new future that was further DEPRIVED and DENIED for three years,, by the very people,, who CARED so immensely , that they due diligently couldn't not find shit on this magical place,, yet they cared and loved these three gals.. so much that they DELAYED, this haven for Zoo,Circus, Performing Elephants .. NOW that the dust has cleared, I say, HOW CAN ANYBODY.. WHO CARES,, about these magnificent beauties, ACTUALLY PREVENTED them from living the life they have come to KNOW, and LOVE,!
, look at this sanctuary
, its a PALACE
for Elephants,
they absolutely... LOVE PAWS SOIL , they cant get enough of that CALIFORNIA GOLD SOIL, and soak in it, dust with it, play, and roll, in it, run a much in it,splash in it, bathe in it when it s mud, they are DOING naturally, as Elephants DO in the wilds of Africa, soon they will learn to kill trees to create their very own Savannah's, woo hooo, THIS IS ALL .. WE WHO REALLY CARE,, EVER WANTED FOR THEM
A CAREFREE, STRESS FREE LIFE,,
A , LIFE AT PAWS IS A GOOD LIFE,
IM SO HAPPY ITS ALL OVER NOW, AND THAT WE WON THE BATTLE,
BLUESBRIGADE BLUESBRIGADE: I hear and feel your frustration. Mission finally accomplished. The girls are in their paradise, safe, healthy and happy.
Bob Barker
to the rescue!
Makes me cry, just wonderful, thank you so so much. God bless you all.
Quite a trip for all. One group who deserve a ton of credit yet remain anonymous are the truck drivers. It must have been a handul. And it must have been very tough for the TZ elephant handlers who had to let them go. It would have killed me.
Beautiful animals
How do those guys drive the big trucks. I have trouble with a shopping cart. When peopke see me coming they run!
I think they use their trunks.
The dust lol she was throwing on herself lol
greatbrittanyy she’s relaxed
There is another sanctuary in Thailand called "Elephant Nature Park" and on their site, they video transporting elephants that are being rescued from logging camps. Humans accompany the elephants, and feed them while their in transit. The elephant is moved in the back bed of a truck. No mechanical equiment, no hoists. No dust and crap. The whole process is much slower and at the ease of the elephant. Not the convenience of the humans. I think people should learn this critical step in handling these gentle giants. I also know that the Toronto Zoo elephant keepers had devised a very detailed, slower game plan to move these elles. And it was dismissed out of hand. I'm glad they are now here but things need to be handled differently with these creatures. They are not just "animals".
Marielin Munroe I looooove ENP! Have you heard of DSWT?
Marielin Munroe please educate yourself about these specific elephants and their specific history before you judge this expert plan. You don't know what you are talking about,
@@hopewalker5764 neither do you
@@alison__16 in fact, I do.
I wonder, when Toka was dusting, if she was comforting herself. It must have been an ordeal for her, all the strangeness, moving, noises, everything. Doing something so normal might have helped her deal with it all.
I think that she was hot from riding in the box and was dusting to absorb the sweat.
@@n.w.414
That makes sense.
Be happy! Look how far we have come as Human Beings!
please rescue elephant Lucy at Calgary zoo, Canada! . LONELY and FREEZING in Canadian winter!
Those are damn nice and expensive campers.
7:00. Elephant steps out of the trailer.
A lady must always powder before making an entrance!
God bless them all and thank you Jesus love this
Toka was like what the fuck ever just let me out of here
매우 매우 감사합니다❤
I wondered about the Canadian winter? Were they OK? I realise they'd have a warm indoor shelter. Anyway, far far better than where they were. Well done.
Yor home, eles. Yor home!!!
I was anxiously waiting to see them enter the barn. then it ended.
It must be so scary for them
Never in chains again- freedom!
Yeahhhhh America has so much beautiful land , many animals especially Elephants should be roaming alllllll over🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😹😹😹😹💕💕💕💕💕💕💕Gods green Earth
Another dude at a truck stop? "What are you hauling, buddy"? Driver "elephants."
Toka: "Just gotta powder my nose... powder WITH my nose!"
What part of CA is this? Are they safe from wildfires that happen out there every year?
Lovin'Life2016 - they’re in San Andreas, Ca up in gold country - went there today, huge 2300 acres, I saw elephants, panther, Siberian tigers - the bears were hiding - lol - I’m so happy these beautiful animals will have a peaceful life, finally!!
PAWS please help an elephant called Mali on Facebook. I signed a petition 2 years ago she still suffers. She is chained all the time. She holds her own tail for comfort. She is so lonely. She looks rather small and maybe malnourished. Please try to find her. I beg you to look into this.
Thank-you PAWS! Realizing the funds needed, as too, the energy, devotion, skill and intricacy involved in rescuing and transporting these huge, deserving animals, I nonetheless echo the sentiments voiced by Patricia in previous text. As soon as possible, please find, treat and relocate the elephant named Mai. Unless PAWS has already found and aided her, she, too, is in need of nurturing and the roomy companionship of her own kind. I pray almost daiily for the global community's heightened fiscal support of your charitable endeavors. Perhaps, if you would post Mai's pic on youtube, I.e., putting a face to need, donations toward her rescue would increase. Please, give these two beauties hugs from all of us far away and keep us posted regarding Mai's wellbeing. Gratitude and Blessings, always, to the many volunteers and supporters facilitating these magnificent rescues!
What human would behave with such dignity among aliens, however apparently caring?
Yes and I think one died and then we never saw videos of them again hardly.

How long did it take for them to come?
A response 7 years later lol... But if you'd like to see their full journey you can look up Elephants on Board - A Journey to Remember at The Fifth Estate which is a Canadian news journal tv program. 🙂
Yes, be good with them, they are so far away from their family and country !!!
Do elephants want to live in the cold?
Must so frightening for the elephant.
I'm sure it was. But, I bet those elephants are now thinking back:
"Man, I was so frightened, that long ride, the new home, and all those strangers...What was so scared of? This place ROCKS!"
Having just watched the elephant ambulance video of rescues of elephants in India I am surprised the Cabadians didn't have a company of armed men to move the elephants from the enormous steel cages to their new prison. How to spend millions more than is necessary.
I don't think that handler understands. She wanted to go in smelling of the local earth. A little powder is always a girl's best friend! (joke!)
These animals certainly aren’t safe in the country they come from, unfortunately. If they establish some herds here in North America, our kids and grandkids can see these magnificent animals without the threat of endangerment. I just hope they manage the herds well and don’t overbreed, and I hope none of these animals end up on a safari hunt.
feel like I'm watching a scene from Jurassic Park..
🙇♀️💜💪🏽
where is part 2
That’s all???

So sad to think of all the animals kidnapped and removed from their natural habitats for people's use and entertainment.
These Elephants should be in their own country ,the circus owners should be jailed for cruelty, such a noisy place to be in their new home, I hope they have a nice place to roam in and not be kept in enclosures...
People are horrible leave them alone in the first place...mind human business..greed...selfishness.........cruelty..then they can live free and die free..they are the true champions not people that use them for entertainment..
The place in Florida is not a sanctuary but a breeding facility!!!! we do not want more elephants to be born in captivity so stop this madness!
really crates chained down to a drop deck.. thats safe as a flat bed driver of 30 plus years ... smh ...
ineed free elephant home no jail make cruel
Why would you back an elephant out? Too much video time covering the "people's" journey and 2 minutes with the elephant. This organization is a little too commercialized for me. Take a lesson from the Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand!!
The only thing I liked about this video is the rescue. There was no audio, and the video was to short. We were not even told where these elephants were transported to. For future videos how about some improvements.
BULLHOOKS really?
That was the Toronto zookeepers who were there for the 1st day upon arrival at Paws Sanctuary..............paws staff do not carry any sticks / bullhooks etc. in their hands.......
Shame on the Toronto zoo keepers
Dang too noisy that truck and too skinny for the elephants.
Took fukn forever to finally let them out dang.
Then they rushing them on COME ON COME ON COME ON I’m like let her do her elephant thing 1st b4 you incarcerate her again
Miriam Schiro: Oh-my-goodness. This is five years later. The girls are happy, healthy, and loving life. Quit, already and rejoice in their beautiful lives.
Rae Darden...Wasting your breath telling me to quit 🙄
I’m just commenting on what I see like everyone else. Giving my truthful opinion from my viewpoint.
Regardless how many years ago it was I still feel the same about 5 years ago.
And I’m not there I don’t know how long they get freedom before they put them back in that prison looking cell they put them in
@@miriamschiro1773 : These good people are merely trying to make a horrible situation better. Tell me these elles are worse off than they were in Toronto, please. I'm open to facts, not feelings. Disconnect from the starkness of the few days of transition shown in these arrival videos, and focus on what these beautiful creations of God now enjoy. Seriously, if you feel so strongly that they would be better off in Thailand, why don't you start a fund to send them all to Thailand?
@@miriamschiro1773 : Your logic escapes me. Please, do some actual research and see for yourself HOW THEY ARE DOING. Don't just sit and worry about awful situations that are unfounded. See the whole picture, please.
Are you kidding me! CAGED is not freedom! when are humans gonna get it, take class's from the woman who has them running free.
this is their ARRIVAL VIDEO..........they are not caged.........this is the heated, padded floor barn to keep them safe for the first night............they have 2700 acres to roam............free to do what they want.............please don't post until you know the whole story......paws is wonderful......go there and you will see......
travel31511 - yes, it’s true, I was there today with my friend, a wonderful safe & happy environment for these gentle giants😊😊😊
@@travel31511 Thank You!
People have no clue what it takes to acclimate such an animal to her new surroundings and new family.
People also don't realize many of these rescued animals would not survive if they were released into their natural environment. They do not have the survival skills, being raised in captivity.
The animals do not have to perform. They are not shackled. The fact that the preserve may be open to tourists is simply a method of paying for feed, shelter and medical care, for the animals.
It's like they retired to their favorite resort.
Who pays for all this.
No idea which punctuation to place at the end of a question? UA-cam comments...smh.
