@Swedetres The Zoo closed the Elephant Exhibit for two reasons. One was that the Zoo could not raise enough money to expand and improve the exhibit. (I believe they didn't try hard enough to do that - but that is just my opinion.) The other reason is that the Zoo is converting the Pachyderm House into a Children's Zoo/Education Center (something I really object to - I loved the old Pachyderm House!)

@animalsrule1231 i AM NOW 65 WENT TO THE ZOO AT AGE FOUR AND THEN ON ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR,,,,,,,,,,, THEY TOOK THE EXHIBIT OUT? wHAT HAPPENED

@animalsrule1231 I agree with you about that, too.

Great video! I do miss the elephants, my favorite animals.
I think that people who complained about the exhibit missed what good it was. The Rick barriers and walls and the barn itself was grand, and different from other zoo exhibits. Plus, people could focus less on the exhibit and more on the elephants.

@awesomeH2O I am looking forward to seeing it and discussing it with you.

I will be posting a video very soon. I worked very hard on it, and I really do love the elephants. That's why I made the video. In my video, I bring up the topic about the elephants' lives, living conditions, and more.

I understand how you and others feel about the loss of the elephants. They were my favorite, and I don't really like the place they moved to as much.
They could have given the elephants the entire front and back (if there was space) of the Pachyderm House, knocking down the walls. Then they wouldn't have to spend millions of dollars. They could just plant grass, trees, bushes, plants, find and place rocks, etc. That wouldn't cost a million dollars.

@IrishMusicIsAwesome I wish the Zoo had thought like you do. (The right way, in other words!)

The Philly Zoo did not need another children's zoo, the last one when I was eleven was a sham..............the zoo is no longer a zoo, due to no elephants. The house was historic, Philly is lucky they still have a Liberty Bell

@Swedetres It would be good if you would communicate your thoughts directly to the Zoo, too. I know a lot of people who feel the same way as you and I do. And if everyone keeps telling the Zoo that, maybe at some point, the Zoo will actually understand what people who love zoos want from a Zoo. At this point, I actually think they are clueless.
