It’s official. Nosey the elephant, once called “the world’s saddest elephant,” has been officially “adopted” by The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.
Nosey has been at the sanctuary since she was seized from Great American Circus owner Hugo Liebel in Lawrence County in 2017. Now, three years later, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee has been given full custody of the 38-year-old Loxodonta africana, more commonly known as the African elephant.
Liebel and his wife, Franciszka, were arrested for animal cruelty after Nosey and several other animals from the circus were taken from them in Moulton. Nosey was reportedly abused repeatedly and investigators said she was chained, unable to move and given inadequate food and water.
