Pat's Latest Update -- Maggie's First Tree!

We know you've been anxious for news of Maggie, so thanks for your patience while we waited for a break in the rain.

We shot some lovely video of Maggie knocking down her first tree in the African habitat at ARK 2000. Enjoy!

    Pat, thank you so much for your updates on Maggie. I live in Anchorage and just found the link to your website through a local tv station's site.

    I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see Maggie doing so well. Seeing her interact with the other elephants... well I just have no words. She means so much to so many people here. I will check back often for updates on Miss Maggie.

    Thank you all so much for taking such good care of her.

    Roberta

About Pat Derby and PAWS

Galt, California, United States
Pat Derby’s advocacy for animals developed more than 35 years ago when she began working with captive wildlife in movies and television commercials. While working on television series such as Gunsmoke, Lassie, Daktari, and Flipper, she witnessed the neglect and abuse prevalent in animal training. Determined to initiate better standards of care and handling for performing animals, Pat chronicled her adventures in a Book-of-the-Month Club autobiography, The Lady and Her Tiger. The first exposé of the treatment of performing animals, The Lady and Her Tiger won an American Library Association Award in 1976. Since 1984, The Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) has been at the forefront of efforts to rescue and provide appropriate, humane sanctuary for animals who have been the victims of the exotic and performing animal trades. PAWS investigates reports of abused performing and exotic animals, documents cruelty and assists in investigations and prosecutions by regulatory agencies to alleviate the suffering of captive wildlife.
