    It occurred to me to start a poll on the best ASIAN ELEPHANT breeding enclosure in Europe. I haven't found any poll on this topic yet, and I'm interested in your opinions. But there are a lot of enlosures in Europe, so I divided the poll into several parts, there are ten devices in each. The first two will move to the final. It will also be interesting to see in which states the best enclosures are.

    A lot of good breeding facilities for asian elephants are missing in this list and some (Ostrava and Budapest!) are so far from the best that ist makes no sense to include them.

    In my opinion it makes no sense to create such incomplete polls.

    I wanted to divide it into several parts. And I wanted there to be worse and better enclosures. It is clear to me that Ostrava or La Palmyre cannot become the best, but perhaps they will succeed more than is expected of them. Maybe some people have a different opinion than me, so I don't want to determine what's worse and better. It would not occur to me, for example, that someone could vote for Hamburg. So if you don't like it, I won't do it again.

    So I would like to ask everyone, should I continue with this polls or no?

    It would probably work better if you select the ten that you think could win and then have an "other" option on the poll. From the 10 here, only Planckendael and Emmen would have any chance of attracting any votes in the final poll.

    I still think maybe Leipzig. I didn't mean to put any zoo at a disadvantage, but if you say it would be better that way, then yes. I'll leave this part as it is and if you want, I'll choose only the better ones next time.

    It is good to try not to leave anything out that people might want to vote for, but if that means that you create 6 polls instead of 1, people will more easily become fed up with a polling overload (see your elephants in germany poll). What seems to work quite well in the UK section is to present all zoos with pictures, but then only have 10 zoos named on the poll with an "other" option. For Elephants in Europe it is obviously impossible to represent all zoos with pictures, but you could select ~10 zoos which you consider most vote-able to be named on the polling and then additionally a few outsiders which you can present with a picture, but should be voted on under "other".

    I will create a new poll. Only the best will be there. Thank you but for the advice it will be better. I consider this canceled.
