I wrote to L.a. Times :


I just read about the Elephant Gita's death.
I am writing to urge everybody to act and make a decision to send the remaining two elephants in the L.A. Zoo to a elephant sanctuary.
Elephants are not made to be in cages. They travel long distances, are social and need to move their feet. I have been aware of many cases, including Gita , who suffer from arthritus and have knee and foot surgeries. I have seen elephants look very unhappy, even pacing.
The remaining two will surely suffer the same fate and probably wind up being euthanized even as so many are.
No, we do not live in Asia and Africa where we could see these animals but we can see them on tv in their natural homes being elephants!
