Summary

Lawrence Anthony is the owner and operator of Thula Thula, a large African game reserve. He received a call from Marion Garai of the Elephant Managers and Owners Association (EMOA), who said she heard of the good work on conservation being done at Thula Thula. Marion wanted to know if Lawrence would be interested in taking a herd of elephants, free of charge. The owners wanted to get rid of them because they were troublesome. They would be put down soon if he didn’t take them. The matriarch of the herd kept figuring out a way to escape from electric fences. She wrapped the wire around her tusks and took the voltage until the fence was sprung. She also unlatched other fences. Marion had heard Lawrence had a way with animals.

Lawrence was about to say no but he had loved elephants...
