I'm pretty sure that the elephants are still at the zoo. They are planned to leave before December 31, but I don't see that happening.
 
They are still at the zoo and it seems unlikely that they will leave before December 31, as there is no transportation plan and 1 crate is still not the correct size.

A keeper told me they were going within the week, but I guess they are still having issue.....

northern california is hardly more acceptable. Had the city council not interfered the elephants would have been transferred to the national elephant center, situated in Florida.

Northern California can get below freezing occasionally, but is much warmer than Toronto. I think that Northern California is comparably cool with how cold natural African elephant range is in some parts of Africa in the winter like South Africa and Namibia.
 
Toronto averages 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) for 7 months of the year. Anywhere in California is a heck of a lot warmer than that! Not to mention hundreds of acres to roam and it is a no-brainer that the 3 elephants will have a far better quality of life at PAWS.
