  • So sad ... I'm sorry...

  • In an ideal world there would be no elephants held captive in zoos. Live elephants would be replaced by advanced, interactive, virtual reality elephant exhibits, where people learn why elephants shouldn't be kept in confinement. Multimedia theaters and web cameras would allow the public to view documentary films, and to follow wild elephants in their natural environment.

  • Don't rate Asali's motherhood abilities, Chuck.

    If you really cared about elephants, you would read the research and understand that they are socially complex creatures that don't belong in zoos.

    Captive eles have a higher rate of infanticide, neurotic problems, stillbirth, foot disease, weight disease, EEHV, TB and arthritis than their wild counterparts.

    Support projects that conserve eles in native habitats instead.
