      <![CDATA[When zoos can use "science" as an excuse to mistreat animals for thier own profits and egos and dismiss the real research that indicates elephants in captivity are known to suffer from emotional and physical stress,  they make a mockery of reason and scientific works. They   are no different than the nay sayers who claim global warming is not caused by humans and is a "hoax".

      <![CDATA[I am sad that this "researched" article did not take into consideration any of the scientific considerations of this move. First and foremost the research from the smithsonian including: Asian and African elephants in captivity together increase risk of elephant disease.

      <![CDATA["But Sue Tygielski, an animal behaviorist at the Reid Park Zoo, says precautions have been taken to ensure that Connie and Shaba experience a smooth transition. Connie, a 44-year-old Asian elephant, will be sent to the San Diego Zoo, making way for a small herd of African elephants to be moved from that zoo to Tucson."<br>
<br>
This is self-serving heartless dribble from an "insider" - of course she's going to say this, she HAS to -- for more on the horrific situation and on elephants in general please see http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/animal-emotions/201112/plans-separate-elephant-friends-30-years

      <![CDATA[Greed Park Zoo should send Susan Basford, Sue Tygielski, and Vivian VanPeenan all to the San Diego Zoo permanently and hire some compassionate individuals who are concerned for the welfare of the animals at Reid Park Zoo. These three woman have the collective compassion of a DEN OF COBRAS and speak out of both sides of their mouths with forked tongues.
