Are they going to continue breeding them? I guess the bulls will come later.

Yes, it is not a classic sanctuary but also a breeding facility.

From some of the videos I've seen of the elephants at the new location, it appears that the Ringling elephants have shifted to protected contact now as well.

Probably unpopular opinion. But I personally love that they’re in protected contact now.

I also love how they are managing them as larger groups, which was so often not the case at Ringling.
