Shocking Approval: Elephants Will Be Torn From Africa And Imprisoned In U.S. For Entertainment
BREAKING NEWS: In a shocking and irresponsible move, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make a devastating announcement tomorrow that it will allow 18 young African elephants kidnapped from the wild and their families to be shipped to three U.S. zoos. Using the guise of “conservation,” these poor elephants will be imprisoned in miserable conditions for the rest of their lives. Other viable plans for these allegedly “overpopulated in their area” elephants would have seen these elephants remain in Africa, but they were ignored by the corporations looking to exploit them.
This news comes just one week after we dubbed the three zoos complicit in this awful travesty “The Terrible Trio” and named and shamed them with the #1 spot on our list of the 10 Worst Zoos for Elephants in North America.
The elephants have been sold out to line zoos’ pockets. It is a truly despicable move which puts cash before conservation. Please avoid supporting this suffering and the conservation con – don’t visit zoos.
