@pinkglove100 is delusional and uneducated. Elephants to not belong in captivity, no matter what. They are not rescued by the zoos from circus life or private owners. Those elephants go to sanctuaries. Zoos actually buy elephants from those to take them from the wild and often kill the adults to get the babies. No elephant should ever be chained. Seriously @pinkglove100...unless you know what you are talking about, don't talk. Everyone else, please Google this info on zoos, circuses.
@pinkglove100 Some animals must be in captivity because some are threatened species, and they must be protected. Even animals that are red listed are still hunted by poachers. Yes, it is sometimes disheartening, but
sometimes it must be done as it is the only way to make sure they're protected. So people shouldn't blame the zoos, blame the people who illegally hunt these great creatures.
@sgauden02 IF they need to be imprisoned the LEAST we can do for them is make certain their lives include the room to roam miles per day outside on natural substrates to ensure foot health. Where are the other herd members? Sorry, this enclosure is pitifully inadequate. Wonder what will happen to this little guy when he gets aggressive. Off to the circus breeding facilities?
@pinkglove100 Most of the elephants you see at zoos were either rescued from circus life, private owners, or were scheduled to be culled in the wild and therefore rescued. The younger ones were likely born in captivity. Also, when you see abnormal behaviors such as swaying, pacing, etc., it was likely developed from being chained and abused at circuses and not necessarily originated at the zoo.
One of the females at our zoo here in portland,OR, had a baby last year, i saw him the mother would not let him near the cage and glass where the people watched them
Because Bodhi is already going into musth, and young males that are initially going into musth can be particularly aggressive, we do not anticipate introducing the two.
That is a cute little elephant calf.
