A CAPS report was posted in 2002 on their website regarding the use of electric cattle prods, but the elephant encounters are still put on as far as I'm aware, this is were the elephants are trained to little tricks and the reason for this is enrichment and training as quoted by the zoo.I am not trying to be negative with Blackpool Zoo as we all know nothing is perfect but it is this sort of thing that helps drum up the anti zoo lobby support.

Most captive elephants are trained to perform certain commands. I did not see anything of the sort when I was there last year and I attended the elephant talk.

Well looks like they have had a change in policy in the last year or two thankfully.
