Elephants in Zoos

Elephants in Zoos

I am interested in hearing everyone's opinion on elephants in zoos. I am interested in hearing what you think which zoos have good elephant exhibits and which zoos have bad elephant exhibits. What do you think will happen when all these new elephant exhibits start opening up across the country? How will the IDA people react then-- to brand new lush elephant habitats

I think there are very few places that really keep elephants properly.
Howletts have a huge exhibit and a proper herd, whereas Paignton zoo have a not so big exhibit and have one of each species.
It's hard to keep elephants properly in captivity, and I think zoos are finally starting to do it.
