Bye Bye Elephant Zoo Exhibits 2015-04-28 21:57:51


Apparently it's now a growing trend of U.S. zoos to close their elephant exhibits and move the elephants to larger reserves, so elephants at zoos may become a thing of the past one day.

Article 1 Article 2

I know it's for the health and safety of the elephants, but I'll miss seeing them at the zoo, for I have fond childhood memories of them at the Detroit Zoo. (The Detroit Zoo elephants are gone ever since the last one died this February).

Alright.

I can live with this.

Zoos are fucking depressing, anyway.

Hopefully they will have a better life wherever they end up.

I've just had powdered sugar put on mine.

Well, pretty much everyone else.

Point is, people put sugary and sweet toppings on bread-based desserts, pastries and the like.

I say if we're not going to eat them, ride them, or make them move stuff for us then lets kill those elephants.

Just as long as you realize, accept, and acknowledge you are a sociopath, I am completely fine with your assessment.

I love how you slid this terribly racist joke in as the second post of this thread and almost nobody noticed.

I'll miss having elephants here if they get rid of them.

Even Elephants aren't safe from gang wars.

Fuck zoos, animals aren't a fucking sideshow to me I love watching them filmed in the wild it's awesome.
