Comments on: India: All Zoo & Circus Elephants To Sanctuaries http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/zoo-elephants/ for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More Sun, 19 May 2013 23:27:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Rogutaan http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/zoo-elephants/comment-page-1/#comment-60438 Rogutaan Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:52:22 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/?p=24149#comment-60438 Well, I guess the ones that are being used in lumber camps are actually active, whereas the ones in zoos have pretty much nothing to do but walk in small enclosure and eat all day. But I see what you’re getting at.

I’m sure working elephants will be getting much more exercise and stimulation than zoo elephants. At least, the ones working in logging would. So, perhaps, there are less pressing welfare issues. Addressing any problems that exist may also be more complicated (you can’t just remove the animals, as you have to consider the people depending on them …). Maybe that’s why no decision has yet been made for them.
