A los 69 años murio Pat Derby antigua entrenadora de animales de cine, convertida en defensora de los animales

In this photo taken Thursday Feb. 26, 2009, Pat Derby, founder and director of the Performing Animals Welfare Society is seen at the ARK 2000 Sanctuary near San Andereas,  Calif.  Appalled at methods used to train tigers and elephants, Derby and Ed Stewart decided to start a haven for former performing animals. Now, 25 years later, the Performing Animals Welfare Society, or P.A.W.S., houses six Asian and four African elephants in San Andreas, Calif. "We´re not anti-zoo," Derby said, "We´re anti-captivity."
