Elephants are a zoo director’s nightmare in general. They’re large animals. They’re destructive. They can be dangerous. Yet they’re the most popular animals that the zoo has. And I think a zoo, if a zoo wants to, first of all, like all other animals that it maintains in houses, it should have proper facilities, large enough that the animals have room to move around and at least have the freedom to go from area to area and not be confined closely. I think that’s what turns off a lot of our visitors. It turns me off.
