As elephants get older, pregnancies certainly become more problematic. |
Our elephants are healthier now than they have been for many years. |
That's why we encourage people not to feed the animals. Maybe a better education program is needed. |
We have no intention of sending these animals to a sanctuary. I don't know why we would. I think a sanctuary is appropriate for old, sick, needy elephants. |
We try to create an intimate experience for our guests and to encourage them to care about exotic animals and places and to develop a conservation ethic; that's really what we're here to do. Seeing elephants is a big part of that. |
