Dulary's Trip Map

Moving an elephant requires a great deal of planning, a custom-designed trailer, as well as qualified drivers and caregivers to ensure a safe trip. Prior to the actual move, permits are acquired and, in the case of Dulary, she must be conditioned to enter the trailer of her own free will.

In conventional transport containers the elephant is chained by two legs to the floor of the trailer for the entire duration of the trip. The Elephant Sanctuary is chain-free both at home and on the road. Our unique trailer, which was donated by United Parcel Service, is designed to transport its elephant passengers chain-free. As an alternative to the antiquated and harmful practice of chaining, the Sanctuary's trailer is designed with a cage-like structure which allows the elephants to travel chain-free and assume normal posturing during transit. This trailer is the first of its kind, making the need for chaining obsolete.

It is standard practice for the Sanctuary to hire a semi-tractor and professional driver (we are happy to announce that Angie Lambert will once again be driving) to transport our precious cargo to the Sanctuary. A member of the Sanctuary staff helps to prepare the soon-to-be resident elephant and will travel with Dulary for the duration of the trip.

Below is a partial list of expenses the Sanctuary will incur in order to transport Dulary from The Philadelphia Zoo to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Sanctuary supporters have already underwritten some of the many costs associated with moving Dulary.
