Thai flooding.

Flooding in Thailand has seperated numerous elephants from their owners, and stranded 15 elephants at the the national elephant Kraal. It seems as if zoos in the U.S. and Europe were looking for a time to genuinely rescue elephants, now would be the time.
(I know Los Angeles, Denver, and Washington D.C. are looking for breeding cows).
I wonder if any zoos are going to act on this?
Your thoughts?

or they could be reunited with their owners?

or they could be reunited with their owners?

I agree 100% far better to re-unite them with their owners than give them the stress of travelling to the USA or Europe.

True, true, but I was thinking that people who were already impoverished, and now lost EVERYTHING, wouldn't be capable of caring for an elephant.

For many of those people, their elephants are their livelihoods.

I just recalled that there are several Asian elephant Sanctuaries in Thailand. So, my question was misinformed, I apologize.
