“It was in 2015 that I read about elephant sanctuaries and the possibility of relief and healing for traumatized individuals forced into captivity far from home, community, and everything they know. As a result, I decided to visit the Los Angeles Zoo and see for myself the elephants confined in my city.
That was the day I met Billy, the male Asian elephant held in Los Angeles since 1989. When I saw him bobbing his head, alone in the corner of a small, dismal exhibit, I sat down and cried. That day, I witnessed everything I was learning about the impact of zoo captivity on an elephant’s body, mind, and spirit.”
