The report outlines the reasons why elephants do not belong in zoos and presents solid evidence of elephant suffering, both physical and psychological, and premature death. These findings only further substantiate the need for UK and Irish governments to phase out the keeping of elephants in UK and Irish zoos, starting with an immediate ban on the breeding and import of elephants.
Freedom for Animals is urging the UK and Irish governments to:
Commit to phasing out elephants in zoos
Immediately ban elephant breeding and imports
Support elephants' transition to conservation sites in the wild, or to sanctuaries and spaces that meet Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) standards, where they may live out their days in peace with freedom to roam
