New Bedford's Fond Farewell: Ruth the Elephant's Journey and Transition to Hospice

  • When you hear talk about hospice, you're usually talking about humans, not pachyderms. However, on the South Coast, Ruth the elephant, who's been living for decades at the Buttonwood Park Zoo, is entering hospice as she nears the end of her life.

Zoo Director Gary Lunsford talks with Nichole about her health conditions and the decision to transition her care.
