[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think elephants should be kept in zoos? Thanks for the AMA.[/quote] No, but many zookeepers do. Elephants walk 50 miles a day. They live in large family groups. We can’t replicate that in a zoo. They are also extremely intelligent. The emotional part of their brain is equally as developed as humans. They feel empathy as strongly as we do and bury and grieve their dead, visiting gravesites yearly. I mean, Neanderthals did that, and we recognize them as human. Elephants, whales/dolphins, apes - should not be kept in captivity IMO. Orcas have been known to commit suicide in captivity. [/quote]
