Hansa the Elephat that dies at Woodland Park Zoo will be featured on a PBS special this Friday. Check you local PBS station's website to see if it will be on in your area. Should be good.

Oh those poor elephants..I could cry a river over they way they are treated in captivity.

Thanks for the program notice.

I was there when they sent Hansa's mother off to breed where she was beaten and chained to get her to mate with the male. Hansa died not long ago. Her birth was another horror story.

"WTF" is a great signature.

I can't the word "FUCK" enough to match my horror and frustration.


PLEASE tell us what to do.

Call your Senators, Congressmen, local representatives, newspapers or email them all at the same time. Some animals should not be bred in captivity.

The problem is their value and location in very impoverished areas. There may not be a better way.

Yah, I get the emails and call my senetors but human

birthcontrol in the areas that are natural to the animals is CRUCIAL

gorillamom

I'm not understanding what you are refering to. Are you talking about their survival in the wild?
