We don’t need to tell you these far-ranging, intelligent animals belong with their loving families, on Africa’s vast, ever-changing savannahs. The zoo is no place for an elephant – many are wild-caught and often kept in restricted space, in small groups or alone. Zoo elephants can suffer health problems, high infant mortality and display unnatural, repetitive behaviours.
We think UK zoos should be elephant-free! If you agree, please take action today.
Thank you.
