" This is the kind of thing kids should be watching on TV. Species helping other species. I wish the network stations would air it so that people remember there are very good people out there doing very good things. I love this story. Kudos to all involved. "

" YEA!! Some good news, for a change. Kudos to all who took part in getting Maggie to CA... into a better climate and with other elephants! Her SURPRISE and JOY must be beyond our understanding. Hopefully, not such joy and surprise as to cause her heart to burst with pure happiness, though! "

" Maggie is my hero, along with all the people who brought her to the sanctuary. And bless Bob Barker. Now let's please get the elephants at 6 Flags Sea World in Vallejo, California to a sanctuary. The AZA says they are thriving but they are not. Their feet are in bad condition and they are not treated well. This year a giraffe died there because she was in a barn in the outskirts of the property. There was a fire and no one there to see it and save her. No one watching the animals at night! God bless Maggie. I love the story of her arrival at PAWS. "

" I saw her in Alaska zoo when whe was a about 2 yrs old. She was makin loud noise and banking her head against the metal door. When the truck pulled near the fence loaded with dry hay, she picked up some dry hay which was lying on the ground next to her feet and started to wipe the fence gate with the dry hay, shaking her head no more dry hay "

" I am so happy to see Maggie in her new home. I used to go see her at the zoo in Anchorage, and felt so sad for her especially after her friend died. I knew how lonely she must have been. It is so wonderful that she can be outdoors in the sunshine with her new friends. I hope she enjoys many happy years. Thanks you so much Bob Barker and PAWS for making this possible! "
