Elephant Protected Contact Training
Loading...
Uploaded by PAWSWEB on Feb 7, 2009
Gail Laule, from Active Environments, uses protected contact to work with Lulu, an African elephant at the PAWS ARK 2000 sanctuary. Protected contact is a method of managing elephants using voluntary cooperation and positive reinforcement to provide the care they need in captivity.

@PAWSWEB Gerald Durrell was the best advocate of zoos, and he only supported captive breeding in the cases of severely endangered species, I agree with this method.

Why train the elephant? What do you want her cooperation for specifically?

@PAWSWEB
Thank you for replying and for the extraordinary work you do.
I have another question. I was watching an interview of Pat Derby recently where she mentions that she is against captivity but not zoos per se.
Since I'm not from America, I was wondering which zoos in this country afford socially complex creatures especially captive elephants animals a relatively higher quality of life.

@veggiewarriors Pat Derby's reply: "I have not visited all zoos, but I have found Detroit Zoo, Oakland Zoo and North Carolina Zoo to have high ethical standards regarding animal care, with the caveat that we do not support captive breeding."
