An elephant sanctuary is, in theory, a place where "retired" elephants can come and live in peace, no longer needing to work in order to feed themselves. Rescued elephants may also be brought here; those who have been maltreated, injured or orphaned in the wild or made to "beg" on the streets to get money from tourists. 1, record 1, English, - elephant%20sanctuary
