Zoos: Good for the survival of the animal species, in this case elephants.

Unprotected contact between the keepers and elephants, and in this case children and elephants: TERRIBLE idea. Please end this program.

I think the zoo does a great job with all of their events and activities, especially the Houston Zoo, because I go there all the time!

Those poor elephants should be in their natural habitat in the forests of Asia instead of a Texan zoo. This is like making a mockery of these powerful,majestic creatures. Human beings are so selfish.

Oh, no - I have to really disagree with you about this.

I think it is wonderful for both species, elephant and human!

The elephant will learn to love humans, and these children will be much more likely to grow up to be true animal lovers.

I don't think that it's a good idea to let kids do such delicate job. They can hurt the elephant.
