Wow, that is an interesting development! I very much hope that the zoo will now change to protected contact. Does the zoo really claim not to use elephant hooks? Seriously? The elephant keepers at the zoo, especially their elephant manager Willie Theison, are huge on free contact and the use of the "elephant guide" as they call the ankus, I can´t believe that they are not using it.
Today, this thread comes to a conclusion. 2018 will be a whole new year with many things to bring. Thank you to everyone who contributes facts/opinions to what I believe to be a successful thread!
How sad for poor little Umasi. So the zoo was so wrapped up in the publicity around Seeni's little calf that Umasai was forgotten and died without notice. Thanks for posting.
