A Second Chance for Ned: USDA Confiscates Emaciated Elephant From Circus Trainer
      

On November 8, less than a month after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) contacted the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) about Ned, an emaciated elephant "owned" by circus-trainer Lancelot Kollmann (a/k/a Lance Ramos), the agency confiscated the elephant and had him transferred to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.  

This was only the second time that the USDA has ever seized a mistreated elephant.

This video captures Ned's arrival at the sanctuary.  The clearly emaciated elephant is nearly a ton underweight.
