Chris Gallucci, Director of Actress Tippi Hedren’s “Shambala Preserve,” Talks About it with Al Cole!

Chris Gallucci is the Vice-President/Director of The Shambala Preserve. The Shambala Preserve is an exotic animal sanctuary founded and run by the classic actress Tippi Hedren, star of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Tippi has been a guest on People of Distinction, and it’s a pleasure to have Chris on the show too.

Chris’ specialty for many years at Shambala was elephants. In fact, Chris has been affectionately referred to as “The Elephant Man“! Chris cared for two elephants named Timbo and Cora at Shambala, and he’s also authored some books on the topic too. Chris talks not only about the wonderful service Shambala is to animals, and to human beings too for that matter…but also sheds some insight into situations involving the abuse of these remarkable and sensitive animals.
Chris asks the question “is there another way to work with an elephant besides brutality and domination?” … And Chris answers it too, “yes, it’s called positive reinforcement! You reward the animal with a treat for doing something that you want it to do.” Sounds like life, people!

Check this out – Elephants are probably one of the most intelligent and emotional animals on the planet – in fact, get this – a full grown elephant has the mentality of an 8 year old child! Hah! That’s probably a couple of years higher than some of the “dumbos” out there who are abusing elephants!

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
