Well, if you think about Amazon & Beyond was only advertised in Miami. On my news channel the other day they were showing a clip of Elephant Odyssey, and I live all the way in Florida thousands of miles from San Diego. Nowhere was Amazon & Beyond advertised.

If San Diego cared so much about the welfare of its elephants, they would have done a NC and given them the whole 7 acre site, or whatever it was, and say "Hey, look at our elephants - the happiest in the world". But they didn't do that, that's for the wild animal park's job, they said "Hey, look at our elephants - they're in a re-created pleistocene environment". As such, they failed, yes, maybe the welfare is good (incidentally, we don't yet know) but the whole thing looks like a habitat for the desert elephants of namibia (and a bad one at that), not pleistocene california.

Are you saying that the WAP elephants are in a better exhibit for them than are the zoos elephants?
You can certainly argue that the zoo has too many species for how much land it has, but unless it cuts back on its species, it can't dedicate 7 acres to elephants. I also think they have plenty of space considering it's not an expanding herd.
