Kristina McKean has felt a deeply rooted kinship with animals for as long as she can remember. When she traveled through Thailand and witnessed baby elephants on the streets of Bangkok being exploited for money, she was devastated. Later, back in the U.S., she became further outraged at the treatment of elephants in the circus, unable to comprehend how animal abuse could be construed as entertainment in any way.
After years spent signing petitions, protesting circuses, and creating social media campaigns to help spread awareness surrounding the mistreatment of elephants, Kristina felt propelled to do more. The welfare of elephants has become her passion and life quest.
In creating The Elephant Project, she is now able to make a significant contribution to saving elephants.
Sales of the specially created stuffed animals go directly to organizations that are helping to rescue and care for orphaned, injured and abused elephants in the United States and abroad.
