[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moscow Zoo in the 1990s.  All the animals had mostly died and the cages were just empty.  There was one old tortoise all by himself, and one really old elephant all by herself.  You've never seen such a skinny, depressed looking elephant.  I sometimes think about her and wonder what happened to her.  I was frankly surprised anyone remembered to feed them.  Also seemed like a good place to get raped, so I didn't go back.[/quote]

In case my post depressed anyone, I have a happy (?) update to report.  Apparently she was not the only elephant there -- there was at least one more that I guess I didn't see.  Their "dilapidated" (according to the zoo website, not me) house was renovated a couple years after I was there.  And she went on to have at least two baby elephants -- a daughter in 2009 and a son in 2017.  In sum, she's probably doing better than a lot of folks in Moscow, and I'm happy to learn that her situation improved and she has a little company now.[/quote]

Thank you for this. Your first post was indeed depressing. [/quote]
